The kit was commercially sold and came with a RS-232 cable and a toolkit for Windows® 95 PC that provided a dumb terminal program. The BASIC interpreter also allowed you to interface with internal battery-backed backup RAM, external non-volatile backup RAM, both sides of the floppy if attachment was provided and a virtual disk provided by comms software on the PC side.
@takao @deadheat @lanodan @coolboymew @Moon The WonderSwan had something similar. There was the WonderWitch, which allowed you to program WonderSwan games in C. There was even a contest where winners would get physical releases.
@coolboymew @deadheat @lanodan @Moon @takao Dicing Knight and Judgement Silversword were the two games that got physical releases (they only held two contests). They're also the most expensive WonderSwan games out there.
I know the creator of Judgement Silversword is still making games. He re-released the game on PC back in 2018 and made a spiritual successor to the game, Eschatos.
