Really, this is a great game, a true classic. Regarding the memory card, haha I remember one time when my sister @Bethyjade was playing at one of our cousins house and they didn't have a memory card either, so they set out to play I don't know what game, the thing is that they intended to play it all that same day obviously, but my uncle was angry because he said that it had been enough game for that day, so he turned off the console, then my cousin and my sister were so frustrated that they wanted to cry.
