Haitai Vistar 16 (Korean Turbografx 16)

Are those just tg16 cards with crappy stickers poorly stuck on the front and back?

Exactry!

I wrote about this many years back, perhaps there's something here you haven't seen before:

At one point I had a deal in place to get one with a box, but the guy working with me had to do his stint in the army before we got it sorted.  ;_;

I'm very curious if there are any dates on the packaging or manual... I'm interested to know how long after US TG-16 this thing was released.

Judging by the fact PC Denjin appears on the box and on every document, we can at least say that is was not released before 1992. I think that before that date, japanese consoles were imported in Korea.

The stickers on the back of those turbo chips has their import dates: April 1993.
An insert that came with the console--at least some of them anyway--shows a manufacture date of March 1993.

I know that Daewoo sold a (slightly) rebranded Shuttle in Korea. I found some photos of a Deep Blue HuCARD whose import date was April 1990.

I love that price tag sticking on the cover.
I wonder what the 126.750 price tag represents.

I wonder what the 126.750 price tag represents.

it's the factory price (manufacturing price?)
as opposed to the retail price...
