OK, someone care to explain this whole 'klax as passport' thing?

I vote for photoshopping Splatterhouse's artwork onto a HuCard.  Why are so many HuCards devoid of artwork anyway?

That would be cool.  8) And yeah, I always wondered why the North American HuCARDs didn't have much artwork. Just another bad decision NEC made with North America. From what I've seen a large portion of the Japanese HuCARDs have artwork on them.

As long as he adds some sort of 'TG-16 Rules' message, then it would fall under fair use for the purposes of commentary and criticism.

I didn't even think of the copyright issues.  #-o That's a good idea Necro.  :) I'll just add something to the image.

hehe. If you look at the Turbowallets they have plastic sleeves so you can carry your HuCARDs like credit cards or ID. I was just making a joke that Turbografx fans don't need no stinking passports.  :mrgreen:

Finally! I haven't seen this flyer for years! I didn't remember all those T-shirt designs, or some of the products (I remembered the wallets! the stupid wallets!)

I'd want all of that stuff, of course.

Anyway, I'm happy to report that I have the Legendary Axe II and Devil's Crush t-shirts. I got them as a freebie from TurboPlay Magazine, or maybe it was from NEC. I can't remember. All I can say was that I thought it was really kool when we got them in the mail, unsolicited.

I still have those beautiful shirts. I wish I had the Splatterhouse t-shirt. I can't remember getting one, but my brother thinks we may have had it. I honestly don't remember having it though.

As some here might remember, I bought that Devil's Crush t-shirt off eBay recently :D . I tried bidding on that Splatterhouse t-shirt in the past before too, but lost. Totally rad t's.

Awesome. How much were the shirts going for?

When I used to look for stuff on ebay, I only saw maybe 1-2 shirts over the span of 5 years. Do they come up for auction often?

No clue how often they come up, but I got my Devil's Crush T for 10 bucks since no one dared bidding against the moderator  :twisted: . Don't remember how much the Splatterhouse went for, but I think it was over $20.

I recently picked up the Wallet and Duffel bag on ebay. I have owned the Turbo Express fanny pack for some time now (which is on the flip side of that catalog if I remember correctly). I got outbid on the T-shirts several times and was thinking about making my own iron ons.

Damn. I somehow forgot that every friggn thing made back then was neon.

I'd get the wallet for holding Hucards. Maybe its just a regular wallet? Either way it looks a lot more well made than those Japanese ones that you got from...Dengeki PC Engine, or some other magazine. I forget.

I used to have the Bonk tee, not sure what happened to it, but, I remember it getting tiny on me, today, it'd probably be a tube top on me  :lol:

I'd get the Bonk, Football, Bloody Wolf shirts, the shades, a wallet or two.

You and me both, man.

I got it for calling the TG-16 hint line in like 1992. Trouble is, I grew a little after that and it got too small. I wore the shit out of it though, but I think I tossed it at some point because I don't have it any more. If only I had known....

You wore that to MGC, right?  Thought I recognized it...

I would totally take the Turbo Shades. 8)

I would love the shades, too! The funnest part would be matching the colors with other parts of my outfit...  :-k

I might use those soft carrying cases from time to time, but generally I like to carry my stuff in something more inconspicuous, like a Coleman food cooler.

Damn. I somehow forgot that every friggn thing made back then was neon.

HAHA Yeah I forgot about that too! But it's certainly true, it was a huge fad for a while during the early 90s!  :clap:

The neon early 90's were awesome!
