I'm a bit surprised they even announced that. By that point, FDD's were "old" and not cutting edge like CD was... and by that point they probably saw how much Ni****do got hit by piracy on theirs.

But you could save to a floppy, and they were cheap. The capacity was definitely more of an 8-bit era thing, though.

Interesting information, though it's not related to this nice discovery: according to this tweet, Ken Sugimori has recently confirmed that he made the comic strip included in the Terebi Oekaki Japanese manual. B2kZgCGCQAAWL6-.jpg (35.26 KB) B2kZgEqCQAEgKm7.jpg (35.59 KB)

On the flea market reference. Here's what the previous owner (from Chicoutimi, Canada) said. Not very useful, take it with a jar of salt Etc. but posting for the records.



"Got it from a contact in the USA who was collecting action figures (to whom I traded a huge lot of toys for it, I won't say how much ;) ) that got the item from a flea market. The guy was from NY state but I know he didn't get it there, I don't remember where though ... I think it was Minessotta? Apparently the flea market guy told him he got a few items from a guy working at Sega (was it a "flea market" story or something real, we'll never know)."
