Anyone remember them or know what I'm talking about. Back in the day I knew someone who had Nintendo games but instead on cartridges they were on floppies and you put them into this hard drive like device but they were Nintendo games just not in cardtridge form. And they weren't on a PC either because you played the games on a TV. I haven't seen one since but has anyone played it, or own it?

Are you talking about the Famicom Disk system? That was Japan only though.

Or if you go into Piracy waters, maybe you played it on a multi-game hunter or similar game copy device.

Was it a Famicom Disk System? Maybe a Dr. PC Jr. or whatever they're called?

If they were little yellow or blue disks, it was an FDS, but if they were regular floppies and it was prolly something a little more gray-area. x_x

Yeah I think it was the Famicom Disk System. He had the thing hooked up to the Family Computer I believe. It was back in the late 80's and I can't even remember how it looks but he had the Family Computer, (a version of the Famicom) and then the disk games with a hard drive like device that I mentioned. So yeah I'm pretty sure it was the FDS.
