Question for the Obey-historians

[vestcoat]

The poster came with my $99.99 TG16 purchased at a Minnesota Toys R Us in the Fall of 1992 (box had no holiday sticker)

[SGX Engine]

I bought my TurboGrafx-16 in September or October of 1990 at Babbage's. I just started high school that year, it was a really busy few months for me, that's why I don't remember if it was Sept or Oct.

I definitely had that poster.

But what I'm most interested in, is the mail-in offer for free TG16 game of choice, including R-Type. Does anyone have a picture of it?   I found a picture for NEC Home Electronics business mail for my Christmas Eve 1990 thread, but I'm not sure if that was an actual free game mail-in offer, and I'd like to see both sides of one if anyone has it.

There was also a major advertised offer 4 free games when you buy a TurboExpress.

I have the letter that came with the free game when you sent in the form.

That's great. Can you explain what you had to do for the game? Thank you in advance.

If memory serves me there was a promotion where if a friend bought a TG-16 and you "recommended" it to them you both got a free game out of a limited selection. I ended up getting three games (I think) like that.  I know for certain that I got Victory Run and The Legendary Axe like that.  I want to say that I got one other but I cannot remember what it was.

^ Did you have to complete a form with your friend? Or did you each submit it separately?

I vaguely recall this promotion...I think it was mentioned in a pamphlet or something...
