More TGX16 Dreams from days of lore
« on: March 21, 2010, 01:08:51 AM »
Sparkys thread made me do some remembering of how it was back then!
So I did some checking in the catalog and magazine collection!
The following came up pretty fast!!
The first image shows the ad from an English magazine ("The Games machine")
and thats the ad that made me the PC Engine addict I am to day!  =P~


And this I got from the horse mouth (TTI them self) After that I just needed a DUO...  =P~
Now I've got 3!  :dance:


A letter recived prior to the DUO's realese in the US


Another little something that came with the letter A Periphial that never saw the light of day (Thank god!!)


At one time I was concidering importing PC Engine stuff from Hong Kong, This company was one of the most interessting sources of PC Engine stuff at the time!

Dude, this stuff is gold!

I love the Intelligent Link flyer!

To clarify on this flyer: who was making this "unbelievable" offer? It certainly seems that they were trying to get rid of  the "Animals!" CD-ROM title (either because it was cheap, or thousands of copies were sitting in their storeroom) by offering the Link for "free".




REQUEST: Surely you want me to put your awesome scans on my site. :)

Higher res scans/larger size images possible?

300 dpi gets you this: http://archives.tg-16.com/EGM/EGM_1992_04_001.jpg  (and I reduce it to 1300 X ~1700 for the web). I'm working to update all my scans to be very nice like this.

Damn d00d, the PC blows away the Mac when connected to a TurboDuo.  This is about the time the PC started to pull ahead of the Mac in popularity as well.  Now we know why... it was faster with a Duo.

Could that intelligent link be connected to a TG-CD as well?  or does it use the built in RAM of the Duo that is not present in the TG-CD?

The Intelligent Link could be used with the TG-CD... you can watch the prototype being used on the PBS show (Computer Chronicles), and they demo an education game (Discis reading software, I forget the title of the children's book)...

I haven't watched the episode in years, but it's good :)

It has Johnny Turbo (Brandstetter) in it!

Intelligent Link Prototype (TurboForce September 1992)

TTi gets "scuzzy" (SCSI) at COMDEX '92 (TurboForce January 1993)

More scans m8's
Got these from TTI i think, had a lot of letter contact with them back then and got some promo stuff like this




Some Catalog scans:



Not sure about this one since I'm missing the coverpages, I think and guess
it's a very late one since it contains Godzilla amongst other late games?



Probably the closest I'll get to this game: The manual in mint condition!
Anyone that can and will sell me the game?

I got alot of this stuff as well, though, the few at the top with the Intella Link or whatever I didn't get.  I did get a bunch of different colored Bomberman hats(which are now long gone), & Sherlock Holmes 2 matchbook that opens up to become a calculator, & I think just alot of different stikers n' stuff that I actually put on stuff, like that Bonk for President thing.  I have no idea where they are or what I put them on #-o

I also got some free unlabled games(Bonk 3 CD, Super Air Zonk, Might & Magic 3) & a full retail release of Terraforming, but, all that stuff was Eun Lopez's, so not strictly from TTI themselves.  Did you ever talk to her, she was their last secretary.  I'm curious about your experience BITD in contacting TTI.

I have all those club duo mags too.  And the TZD 30+ page mag from 1994 ish.   I also have a TON of Turbo flyers and mailers, just too lazy to scan and to stupid to post.

Dunno.  Its kinda like using it as a CDROM on the MSx/pc98 also, with develo box.  It might not actually the syscard ram.  We need to find one and see.

Id totally use my TGCD to install / play old DOS CDrom games in style.
