Nintendos Sattelite reciever for the Famicom. Only released in Japan.
Nintendo use to braodcast games at certain times of the day and you could download them and save them onto the flashcart. However you could only download the game that was being broadcast at that particular moment. Way ahead of its time for 1995 though.

Yeah, also was supposed to cause cronic headaches due to the eyes having to focus really close, and I think the lovely red graphics didn't help either
I used to have a BBC B+ with 64K sideways ram
Flash!!! Elite was played off a tape loaded through a gettoblaster connected via audio outs

Yeah every 15-20 minutes you should pull your eyes out from the screen and have a break for a minute or two. The 3D effect really works though and it's really quite funky.

I think there was a small monthly subscription. If I had my Super Play magazines here, I'd look it up.
I believe a remake version of the original Zelda on the NES was released on the Satellaview... Edit found a link!
