Just came across this on Ebay and was wondering if anyone had ever seen one of these before. It has the TG16 logo on the sleeve and the date is 1990. Thought about trying to get it just to see what it is. Definitely not for the Laseractive since it's dated 1990. Perhaps it's nothing more than a preview disc, maybe for the CES or something so that it would have improved picture quality over a VHS tape. Any ideas?

Probably just one of the two general Turbo promo VHS tapes on laZerdisc. Still neat that they bothered to put it on LD.

I saw that last week on ebay but never got around to posting about it on the forums. It will be interesting to see how much it fetches.

of course no one has seen it because the description yells "I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT IS ON THE DISC MYSELF"

I am in on this one for curiosity sake, but I think it might go above what I am willing to toss out.

Must be the prototype version of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 for LDRom²

So you're the one who outbid me.

I hope you'll post the video online if you win.

Paraphrased from Dan in Lady Chatterley's Box: it's the same Turbob promotional material as found on the VHS tapes and one sold last year to Henry.

Thanks for saving me $80 Clash!

$75 was my top bid, so someone saved me too.  Since it is just the same promo video everyone has seen a million times, I didn't want to go nuts.

I assume there was some guy ready to bid $500, so I just gave up.

I love those video's

Damn, i'd love to have an LD version of that.  I posted rips of 3 different promo vids to youtube, but all of them have parts where the tracking goes nuts and audio gets poppy.  Hopefully whoever got it has the decency to share it with the world in digital form.

I don't think the videos on my site have tracking issues.

Is the promo video the one where they show a load of japanese games, including Altered Beast?

I was surprised it only went for $80, but that sounds like about what the previous copy went for a couple years back.  I was interested when I thought it was some LA related, but the 1990 date obviously put that to rest.  I'm guessing it was used in a trade show where they wanted a promo running constantly and didn't want to rewind a tape every hour or so reps could be out talking to folks instead.

As nullity already mentioned, it would be nice to get the LD because it should offer superior video/audio than VHS sources.

I hope the person who won shares the content. I'm not going to hold my breath, though.
