What video game system was this?

Back in the late 80's early 90's I remember playing this video game on a system that I had never seen before. All I can remember is that the games were on these small, thin white cards roughly 2 1/2" x 4" in size. One of the games also had something to do with a volcano. I know it is not a lot to go on, but does anyone know what system this is?

    It was the TurboGrafx-16 (or in Japan, known as the PC Engine), a hybrid 8/16 bit machine made by NEC and sold by TTI in the US as a competitor to the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo. The games came on "HUcards", which were indeed small, white, credit card sized "cards" as opposed to traditional cartridge media of the time. It was not commercially successful, but did have a handful of pretty cool games.

    The game you refer to in particular, I'm drawing a blank on, however. If it comes to me i'll toss in an edit.
