A HuCard (known as a TurboChip in the United States) is a memory card developed by Hudson Soft for the NEC PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16 in the US) and SuperGrafx video game consoles.
The size of a credit card, a HuCard contains an integrated circuit (IC) that is placed close to the connectors and protected by a thin plastic shield. Compared to the more traditional cartridges used by almost every other game console of the time, the HuCard is relatively small and compact.
The HuCard can be compared with the BeeCard, also a memory card developed by Hudson Soft which was used with MSX computers. The BeeCard is slightly thinner and contains 32 connectors where the HuCard has 38.
