We reveal the mystery behind the NES Programmable Series of games, and how their Japanese Famicom counterparts were able to save data with the aid of the Family Keyboard and Famicom Data Recorder. We also demonstrate alternatives to using this technology, as well as run down the contemporary ports that don't require additional hardware to use all of the game features.
