Memory card

From Wikia Gaming, your source for walkthroughs, games, guides, and more!

As games moved away from the cartridge format and into CD-ROM, DVD and other read-only media, the place for saving your games became devices called memory cards. These cards plug into your console or controller, and let you save your game files onto them.

While you did have to pay extra now to be able to save a game, memory cards had some benefits. You could take your friends saved games from their memory card. Gone are the days of finding someone else's saved game with a character called "Penis" when you rented some SNES title from a video store.

Without hard drives, memory cards are the main and primary way of storing your saved game data.
