I remember World Sports Competition being released before other HuCards and CDs in my (Canadian) hometown.

and world sports comp has a copyright date of 1992!

so who is the person who worked at TTI? and what was the last day of TTI? Mrch 2, 1994? April 17 1994?  it could be any day, but i have a feeling TZD was started officially the day after TTI shut down.

I have no idea of the actual day.  I do remember talking to her on the last day, as I recall her talking about packing up all the last of her things she kept at the office.  Her name is/was(I heard she got divorced) Eun Lopez, & she was the last secretary of TTI.  She hooked me up with a bunch of games, some Bomberman hats, PC Genjin pins, a Sherlock Holmeds matchbook calcuator, an NEC watch, a LoT shirt, & probably more I'm forgettting about.  My dad, at the time, thought she was trying to "hook up" with me.  And, at the time, I thought there was no way, but looking back, I kind of wonder.  Especially after hearing about her supposedly cheating on her husband :?

Ok, so far we know that we know nothing.   :lol:

Last in Chip format: Magical Chase?
Last in (S)CD format: Bonk III?

Does that seem to be the consensus, or is it still up in the air?

The last game released in the US market, period, was Bonk 3 CD. This also makes it the last SCD game.

This information comes straight from Steve @ TZD, so as far as that final SCD release, there shouldn't be anything "up in the air". If there's anybody that knows, it's Steve.

I remember "knowing" a long time ago that Magical Chase was the last HuCard released but that's a pretty hazy memory.

These are my reckonings:

US
Last Turbochip:  Bonk 3 or Magical Chase
Last CD:  Terraforming
Last SCD:  Bonk 3 (94)
Last Official Printing:  Dungeon Explorer 2 (96 or 97)
Last Homebrew:  Meteor Blaster (04)
Last US Release, Any Format:  Battle Lode Runner, VC (07)

Japan
Last SCD:  Dead of the Brain (99)
Last Hucard:  ???

I agree that Bonk 3 CD was the last US release.

Well there`s alot of experts in here that will disagree with that :mrgreen:.Think we have it narrowed down to either Magical chase or world sports competition for the last hucard.And everyone seems to think that Bonk III was the last cd game.

Last Official Printing:  Dungeon Explorer 2 (96 or 97)

Do you know if the silk screened label is identical to the original?  How about the disc bar code?  It doesn't really matter - I'm just curious to know if the reprints can be identified.

I don't know.  Maybe MrFulci or offsidewing can tell us.  They both mentioned that they received the reprint version from TZD in the late nineties.
