Oeka Kids tablet

The Oeka Kids tablet is a Famicom accessory from Bandai that resembles a drawing tablet, and plugs into the expansion port. There are two known games that use this peripheral, using iNES Mapper 096, both of which contain a variety of activities, such as painting, drawing lessons, hiragana lessons, and a variety of minigames such as mazes and sliding puzzles.

Very little information about this accessory is available, and only basic reverse engineering has been performed so far. As such, this information may be incorrect, but it seems to be acceptable for the two commercial games that use it.
