The is the last one I have, besides the import price sheets that were sometimes folded in with these or tossed in with one of my orders and the 48 page colour catalog.

we should be able to place together the order of these by looking at which games dissapeared from the catalogs. if we knew how frequent they were issued. quarterly? bi monthly?

and 30 for a kisado! wow! well alot of them are quite a steal compare to e-pay standards of today

I was thinking the same thing, to place them in order would be to look at what items disappeared.

It's been years, however I recall these arrived sporadically. At least 2 a year, maybe 3 (every 4 months).

I may have also received other flyers that I threw out years ago. These are the ones I kept. I've had a habit of keeping all my TG-16 recipts, documents, flyers, etc in a bag and folder.

I'd be curious to see any flyers others folks have. pcenginesupergrafx.com had a scan of a Radio Shack flyer I vaguely recall, it was pretty cool seeing it.  I've seen at least one other TZD flyer on someone's ebay listing (they were selling all their TG-16 stuff in a lot) that I had not seen before.

I was hosting these pics on my ISP's free space they allow me, however I've since moved everything over to photobucket.com    Due to the relocation sometime I may scan the 48 page catalog and add it to photobcuket. The interiors of these flyers, which are just a mess of screen shots for the games (exception being  of the black and white flyer) I may add there as well.

I'll add a link to the "album" when I scan more documents.


This recent flyer I posted I foudn a bit silly, with Bonk punting the Nintendo, pretty goofy, hah.

well, we could ask the guy who runs TZD. since he is a die hard turbo fan as well, maybe he saved a copy of each one for historical purposes.

I'll start adding the few PC Engine flyers they sent me. I'm pretty sure I received more than 3, though this is all that seems to remain.

Most of these flyers, from what I recall, were larger than a letter size piece of paper, which is why there are 4 scans.

Damn price's sure have changed since then.

Interesting how some games lose value while others gain more.

in generally, at that time the games were new releases, consequentially most of the games were more expensive than nowadays. some of the games became so called rare, those are the games which you probably have to pay more than when they came out.

I remember specifically not buying Might and Magic 3 because I was waiting for it to drop to $30.  D'oh

Hmmm, Bonk 3, Terraforming, Might and Magic 3, and Order of the Griffon all BRAND new for $150.  Yes please!

I heard TZD talked Hudson into making a second printing of Dungeon Explorer 2 at some point.  Does anyone know when that happened?

Something like that happened, as the Dungeon Explorer 2 I purcahsed from TZD in the 90's was in a generic case, with a photo-copied manual.

Not sure of the exact date this occured, however I'm guessing no later than 1997

My kid sister and I both ordered the game from TZD around that time.  She got Original case/instructions, I got the cheapy generic version.  We ordered less than a month apart.
