Whatever Happened to Donsal?

[bojay1997]

I recall in the days when TZD was still in business that there was another company called Donsal in Canada that had the rights to repair and sell games for the Turbo.  Does anyone know what happened to their stock?  They used to have pretty much all the same games as TZD and if I recall correctly, they agreed only to sell in Canada.  They just disappeared one day and I can't find a trace of them on the web.

I don't know anything about this, but I'm curious.

He went from a 1-800 to a 705 number and then *poof*.

My guess: he ran out of stock?

I probably ordered a few times, and bought duos #2 and #3 from him but I was having a hard time finding titles to purchase near the end (he had a buy one get one 50% off promotion).

He also had Jaguar stuff along with some other random stuff but I only bought TG related items from him.

Early on TZD refused to sell to me and said that I had to deal with their Canadian affiliate. I'm guessing these guys were it. But at the time TZD only refered to a guy by name and gave me a phone number and it seemed kinda shifty so I never bothered ordering from them.

hehe. Fair enough. "Uhhh, give Chuck a call up north there. He'll take care of ya." ....yup, that sounds pretty shifty.

Was the dude's name really Chuck? That would be gold.

Your loss then...  Always got everything I ordered and it was only new stuff.

Also, I think DonSal Inc was just one guy. I don't think his name was Chuck either, I thought it was "Don" actually, but I could be wrong.
