The Backup Memory cartridge for the Sega Saturn is the console's answer to the PlayStation's memory cards. Though the Saturn has some internal memory for save game slots, it is in short supply and is in danger of being wiped if the Saturn's internal clock battery runs out. Backup Memory cartridges are sixteen times bigger than this internal memory space. All Backup Memory cartridges are third party; Sega never produced one themselves.
