I was doing some searches and found this little glimpse of "back in the day".

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I like how their prices are almost the exact opposite of today: USA games (like Bonk III CD, $29.99) are way cheaper, Japanese games (like Fatal Fury Special, $49.99) are way more expensive.

Nice find vestcoat.  Makes me wish I had a crystal ball back in the day, or at least enough cash to buy what I now have to buy used.  Kisado for $29.99 and replacement Turbochip jewel cases for a buck - almost brings a tear to my eye.   :cry:

I remember when the TZD site looked like that. Like most others, I'm very sorry I didn't take advantage of a lot of that stuff.

On the bright side, Power Golf *is* still available.  :lol:

Yeah, but $200 for me now is a lot less than $50 was for me back in highschool.

Oh, man. I might. I know I personally never threw it away.

I had it for years and years at my dad's old house. He sold that house a couple years ago so all that stuff might've gone in the trash.

Hopefully he still has it in a box somewhere.

I have a mess of flyers sitting around, about 5 different ones and the 50 page booklet/catalog.

TZD probably sent out about a dozen different flyers over the years, prices flcutuated a bit, but not a whole lot. Turbo Sticks used to sell for $10, I rememer that much.

I'll make some scans if folks are interested.

Yes, please do MrFulci.  I have a couple of them, but I'd like to see the other adverts they sent out over the years.

Here is one for now, first one I grabbed. The interior that folds out I did not scan, it is a fold-out poster with screen shots of about 30 or so games.

Let's see, they have internet and E-mail so it atleast had to be in 1995-96. What year did you get that? I remember in 1994 seeing TZD ads in the back of game mags along with Bre Video Games and Funco.
