RE: Sharp electronic organizers with the IC card slot (Wizard OZ/IQ/PA/PI series)
One of the six game-cards published by Sharp in the west was OZ/IQ-8A01 'Organizer Hatris.' It was another game based on the original Japanese card (the same as Box Jokey, Organizer Tetris & Organizer Golf) - PA-5C01(S). The Japanese card was the first software IC card released for the high-resolution display of the new top-of-the-line PA-9500 organizer (the device was released in Oct/90, while the game card - in Dec/90).

OZ/IQ-8A01 was released later on for the new OZ/IQ-8000 line of western organizers with the widescreen display. However, the western version differs from the Japanese one in two ways:
- it requires a user to hold the organizer vertically (the same way as for the Organizer Tetris card)
- it has less detailed graphics (at least for the falling hats)

Here's the comparison between the cards:
