The Story

Shanghai

This one deserves the whole story. In December 1979 a Stanford student named Brodie Lockard came down wrong from a trampoline and woke on a ventilator, unable to move his arms or his legs. Someone arranged for a PLATO computer terminal to be brought into his hospital room. He learned to type with a stick held in his mouth, and in 1981 he built a digital version of the tile-matching puzzle he had seen played on the ward. Activision published it in 1986 and it sold on the order of ten million copies. They also marketed it as an ancient Chinese game — which it is not, and which Lockard himself never claimed. It reached the PC Engine on 30 October 1987, the day the machine itself went on sale. One man, one mouthstick, one borrowed terminal. That is where this came from.

— The shopkeeper, Enjoy Game Japan

Used. Tested and working. HuCARD only — the case and manual are not included. The card has scuffs and scratches from normal use.

Please check before you buy: this is an NTSC-J (Japanese region) HuCARD. It needs a Japanese PC Engine, or a system modified for region-free play, and it will not fit a North American TurboGrafx-16 without an adapter.

Used HuCARDs are never manufactured again — what is on the shelf is simply what survived. This one was cleaned and tested by hand here in Japan before it was listed. If you would like photos of this exact card before you buy, just send us a message and we will gladly send them.

FAQ

Will it work in my country?

Power depends on the set. Sets that come with a USB power cable need no step-down transformer in any country (USB charger not included). Items that come with the original Japanese 100 V adapter need a step-down transformer outside Japan, the US included. The description says which power supply this item comes with. Video is NTSC-J composite. See our Country Guide for details.

What video outputs can I use?

The console outputs NTSC-J composite by default. With the Nintendo multi-out you can also use RGB or S-Video if your cable and display/upscaler support it (cables not included unless noted).

Will it work on a modern HDTV?

Many TVs still accept composite. For best results, use a compatible upscaler (e.g., RetroTINK/OSSC) with the correct cable for your setup.

Shipping, taxes, and delivery time

We ship from Japan by UPS, or Japan Post for small parcels (sometimes FedEx or DHL), with tracking. Ships in 1–3 business days. After that, UPS usually takes 2–5 business days, and Japan Post usually takes 1–3 weeks. Import taxes/duties are paid by the buyer according to your country’s rules.

Can you bundle items or combine shipping?

Yes—add items to cart and check out together. If you need a custom bundle (e.g., console + specific games), message us.

Can I return an item if I change my mind?

Yes. You can return an item within 30 days of delivery, even if you simply changed your mind. You pay the return shipping cost. Please check the photos of the exact item before you buy if the look matters to you.
