maybe that dude that wholesale ordered them did it to them  :-k He may have wanted to test them before sending them out.

Haha, no way, BT is a great guy. I wouldn't have opened the offer to forum members if I couldn't personally vouch for his integrity.

Besides, the amount of grime on my card and that CD far exceeded what could possibly be picked up by a simple test. It looked like it had been "tested" no less than 72 times while simultaneously weathering a stampede.

In the end though, all is well that ends well. I got the drivers installed, the cart cleaned up nicely (actually looks brand new after a 409 bath), and it works great. Despite all my complaining, the cart itself really is a great product. Those Neo guys could afford to take a course in presentation, however.

Between bites of three day old pizza he seals up the driver CD-Rs into those little plastic baggies without bothering to wipe his hands. A few lucky recipients (such as Paisa and myself) get grease encrusted driver discs and carts that look like they were on the front lines over in Iraq.

...and here's one, for the evil grey monkies that haunt meeee!

One thing I would like to note though that makes me giggle is that I have loaded some homebrew programs made by this mysterious man, BT.  If he tested the cards, he should have loaded his own programs on them for the test :D  I hope having a flash card gets him back into homebrew production since the last program I have seen from him is dated in 2000.

I'm always happier with a tested product as well.

BT's company, MindRec, is currently working on two new Turbo games.

PC Gunjin:

http://www.the-nextlevel.com/board/showthread.php?t=39373

As you can see by the date on the thread, the game has been in production for a number of years now. It's getting closer to completion, however.

Xymati:

Only a single screenshot in this two year old thread, but I know much more work has been done since then. We might see a release in '08 if we're lucky.

As for other games already released since your 2000 program, check out MindRec's two commercial releases:

Implode (2002):

http://www.mindrec.com/?main=pce/implode.php

(Formerly available from Turbo Zone Direct, but you can order it direct from the link above. It's actually one of my favorite puzzle-type games for the Turbo. On a professionally pressed CD in your standard Turbo SuperCD packaging.)

Meteor Blaster DX (2004):

http://www.mindrec.com/?main=pce/meteordx.php

A game that was based off of, and greatly improves upon, the classic Asteroids. Again on CD and formerly available at TZD. Worth picking up for sure.
