It was a memory unit with a built in monochrome screen. When &amp;#x27;docked&amp;#x27; in the controller it would show extra information about the game you are playing.

I love when people find unused features or weird implementation details in things.&lt;p&gt;Also kind of jarring how this is the first bit of &amp;quot;retro&amp;quot; tech that I have seen a reverse engineering post on that I actually used when it was new..</text></comment>
