If you can figure out how, let me know. AFAIK there is no way.

Come to think of it, what I said isn't entirely accurate. You could install Boot Camp or Parallels with Windows, then burn them under Windows using Nero. It's not that Macs are incapable of burning Turbo games, it's just that no one has written a program that lets you do it.

Turbo games are ISO/CUE. I know of no way to burn ISO/CUE sets under the Mac OS. Toast doesn't do it.

If you have found a way, I'd be extremely interested in hearing how.

 Joe burned the ISO/CUE set for my LOT dual boot CD, so maybe he can shed some light on this...

I think he used his Windows PC for that. I'm pretty sure I've talked about this before with him.

I always use a real PC to burn my game discs since it has Nero and a really slow burner.  Why someone hasn't written an ISO+CUE capable program is beyond my comprehension.

They're talking about BIN/CUE, malducci. Turbo images come in ISO/CUE. I know of no utility to convert one to the other on the Mac OS. And yeah, Toast has BIN/CUE capability but not ISO/CUE.
