Huh, I think I've heard of that, but don't think that was one we rented. Here's some of the random stuff I remember renting and not really playing again otherwise:

Mischief Makers
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
Glover
Chameleon Twist
Vigilante 8
Space Station Silicon Valley
Quest 64

Also that "memory thing" you're making sound all weird and obscure was pretty common. It does seem like it was always the shittiest games that required it, though. All the first- and second-party games I can think of saved to the cartridge. Actually that was somewhat annoying too because most of them let you save only to the cartridge.
