I can't remember what year for sure but I'm pretty sure that it was the year before the turbo Duo came out in the US. they were promoting the launch of the turbo Duo and Lords of Thunder pretty hard at the Ces show. I remember there being a few DUOs and whole bunch of Core grafx systems on display with games running on them to play.

I wish I had a larger picture of that. That's actually a picture from a turbo play magazine. I can't remember which issue.

Oh, damn. Wasn't there an old thread where you shared this info (years ago). See, I *think* you did, but I might be confusing you with someone else.

Anyway, I'll check my scans of TurboPlay and see if I have a  proper, full-resolution of that image for you.

*crosses fingers*

Nullity scanned nearly all the issues at a much higher resolution than the ones I did (a million years ago).

Yeah, I can't remember which person here scanned it for me. Thank you to whoever did though.

You probably saw this already but I found this with a reverse Google image search on your photo.

Curiously, that "lunch box" appears to be the same white plastic case used for the limited edition white Sega Game Gear.

Ok, I don't even know what is happening anymore.

I never heard of this fabled, white Game Gear.

ALSO, I want to make my own lunchbox now.

One could only hope that these bourgeois will give the lunch box to their spoiled brat of a kid. Most likely though, the precious box will be encased in glass display with a gold plated plaque. Capitalist bastards!  [-(

I know. TTi did not spare any expense promoting this game.
