This is Pilotwings 64 for the N64. It uses an unusual little EEPROM for savegames. I think I almost liked it better when they used battery backed SRAM.

The opened cartridge exposing a very small PCB with the usual CIC copy protection chip. A small 8 pin DIP EEPROM and the main DIP28 ROM chip.

    On one hand. SRAM will lose memory when the battery eventually dies. On the other hand, the epprom has limited write cycles.

    Now if only they used FeRAM.
