MAGFest 2013: Famicom Data Recorder Preview
by Sean "TheOrange" Corse, filed in Events, Famicom Dojo, MAGFest on Jan.30, 2013
Sean shares a couple of items from his MAGFest haul! This year he procured a Family Keyboard and Famicom Data Recorder from Mad-Gear. It’s a pretty cool, really strange peripheral that saved game data for a very small number of games before the Famicom Disk System came along and stole its thunder.
This will definitely be covered in a future episode of Famicom Dojo, but until then enjoy this quick hardware preview, and imagine the gaming possibilities with sequential magnetic tape!
