Google says you can use two of 'em to battle another player wirelessly in Dive Alert, and that in CFC2 you can play 2-player with two wireless units, or use just one for the "Dousing" feature that generates new cards to trade for based on--supposedly--the ambient radio waves the unit picks up.

Mention of its use in Dive Alert.

And also there was an e-mail game (I wanted to type "messaging app" ugh) unless I'm wrongly assuming something about that one. Kind of hard to imagine link cable messaging. But only slightly less plausible than using a bass finder to send messages. My biggest curiosity is what you're supposed to do with the jig on the end of the cable. Run it up your sleeve into a breast pocket? Dangle it behind your bike to trawl for signals?

yeah, that thing is weird! why not just have a connected antenna like a TV tuner (which it sure looks like).

To avoid it breaking in the first two minutes of ownership, I assume, or to save eyes. Soft antennae like this are standard in RC cars. They also used to use it on portable radios. That TV watch Seiko made in the 80s had one too, I think.

I did not know that! I mean with RC cars it's usually a bendy wire, right? or are my memories of this 30 years old?
