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. (fedia.io)

@[email protected] As far as I’m aware, all N64 carts use I2C EEPROMs for saves. But funnily enough, the Memory Paks are battery-backed SRAM. I’m guessing that’s so they could share BOM with Game Boy carts.

@[email protected] there are some games with battery backup. Ocarina of Time comes to mind. But also a handful more:
