Scans from a 1994 Turbo Zone Direct Catalog

[Bernie]

Man, I wish I had saved all my TZD stuff that I had from back then.  I ordered a lot from them.  I just noticed something though.  They have the Super System Card listed, then the Super System Card Deluxe listed...  What's the difference?  I was thinking CD card, and then the 3.0 card, but I thought the Super System Card WAS the 3.0?

Deluxe came with the Gate of Thunder, Bonks Adventure, Bonks Revenge and Hidden Bomberman disc.

Regarding Drac X, I can't find the scan or web archive that I remember, but Aaron's Turbo Memoirs describe the interior of this flyer: 

One of the first mail flyers from Turbo Zone Direct (unknown date). In this flyer just some of the rarer items available were Dracula X ($79.99), Arcade Card ($149.99) and Flash Hiders ($79.99).

TZD also alludes to it here: 

In a perfect world we'd still be selling new copies of Dracula X, Dungeon Explorer II...

Interesting, if they carried it, it was for a VERY short amount of time and they had very very limited quantities of it.

I think I missed the very first mailing they did, and that's probably where this was mentioned.

Check out this link. It is, basically speaking, a chronological mirror from late-1996 on:

Look, it even mentions Bomberman and [the late] Hudson Soft.

Why say "if"?  Isn't an interior description and price quote of a mailing Aaron owns and scanned the cover to pretty good evidence?

That link depresses me..

Not really.  It's evidence that they wanted to sell it; I have a brochure that proclaims that King of the Monsters is coming soon, but we all know how that worked out.

ROF, You are the, Dude! Can I save that scan? I HAD that catalog! I had lots of TZD flyers! I wish I could find where I put them! I'm gonna cry! It's not fair!

Oh! Yes, it's true that they had Rondo. I remember because I wanted it pretty badly but, I at the time I thought that the price was too high so, I passed it up in the hopes that it would come down but, instead it got sold out.

Same thing with Strider. Seems like that one was over 100.

Remember the whole thing they kept going on about how they would only have games like that for a short time because something to do with Japanese companies "...like to "train" gamers into paying full price for fear of not being able to get the game later..."
It was on a slip of paper that came with some of the flyers you'd get in the mail.

Come to think of it, it seems like that's around the time that I quit placing orders.
That message just pissed me off so, much. Nobody was going to train me. That was for sure.

Yeah man.  Have at it.
