Nice blast from the past. Yeah, I bought a few things from the TZD flyers and over the phone BITD pre-Internet.

Here was one of those items. ^_^

I love the receipt! I don't think I kept any of my receipts.

Looks like good ole Corel Wordperfect was used to me to print that out.

In 2002, I bought a new Turbo CD player from TZD for $130. I also still have the receipt and the huge box it came in- they shipped it using that box. More importantly, since I never got a duo, I still play games on it. They didn't even advertise it on their website. I called up and at some point told the rep that I wished I could play CD games. He let me in on their secret that they had just a few cd units, and offered to sell one to me (I think for being a regular costumer but who knows). Lucky break, especially at that price! I can't imagine how much it would go for today.

Being the lifelong gamer that I am, I used to pop by TZD and drool over stuff that I wanted but never could afford. Does anyone remember a game website called cart-mart.com?

Like este, I bought stuff off their mailed flyers; about twice a year, when they'd do their BOGO sales, I'd buy a half dozen games or so.  Also like este, I bought far too many meh games when I should've been buying more rarez.  Damn hindsight.

With an apostrophe..... those bastards.

I know I got a few things from them but the only one I can specifically remember was the reprint of Yuna 1. I did get all the flyers though.

Now I remember, I bought some of those dodgy AV cables from them as well, that was after they went online.

Someone first directed me to the site around 2000,2001 or so to let me know they still had new Duos for $200. Having never owned a Turbob but always wanting one I grabbed it with the quickness along with the Gates 4 in 1, Lords, and some hucards and Drac X from eBay. Good times.

I sold that duo still mint and compete for $180. f*ck me.

Ha!  I didn't even notice that.

It's kinda funny.  There were a bunch of games on TZD even at the end of the site that I didn't own but figured I'd purchase at some point but never did.  I really wish that I'd taken advantage of the site more and gotten more games that I wanted 15 years ago. 

[geise]

Word.  The winds of change were not good to our system.  Don't feel bad.  I passed on Magical Chase cause it was still full price at 49.99 near the end of 93 at Babbages.  I saw Valis III, Dead Moon, Side Arms, and Neutopia II were all on sale and together were less than $50.  So, I made the smart choice!    I actually don't regret it that much.   I got games I actually enjoy more than MC.  I just lost out on an "investment" opportunity.

[seieienbu]

Yeah, from an enjoyment perspective you definitely won there.  From the "Man, 20 years later I'll bet this'll go for $5,000!" perspective, well, you're clearly not psychic.  I definitely would've made the same decision.
