Maybe something they added later once word got out?

I honestly don't know for sure.  I do know that the card does exist and I've only seen it twice and I lost both auctions quite awhile back.  Main thing i remember is at the top of the card it said "Surprise!!!!!!" with wording underneath it.  I've been looking since my last post to try to find a picture on the net but no luck.  Maybe someone else here has one.. Then again, maybe a thread about it might be more beneficial rather than randomly coming across it in this thread.

I have this card. i can snap up a picture if you guys would like. It says Suprise! and talks about the free hidden game then gives you the code to access it.

YES please!  would love to see it.  It's a myth right now.

Ill be home in about an hour and ill snap it right up. Its the size of a business card.

I've seen that card before too, but I don't remember if my TurbobDuo came with one or if I just saw it here.  Dammit.... now I'm gonna have to dig those boxes out of the closet.  :mrgreen:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/140922135295?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649

Bidded $450 and still lost!!!!.

Damn i shouldnt have sold my last copy for $275 couples of years ago! =(


I'll fess up. I bid $610 and lost with 2 seconds to go.


Damn... That is something to behold. I counted 8 people fighting for it. I dunno if eBay shows every little bid, but seems that most were willing to outbid the next guy by $50+ bucks which is what drove it up fast. That's after "s**s" came in with the $150+ outbid. Anyway, there's one REALLY happy seller tonight in Ohio...

Hope the buyer was someone who will truly enjoy the game, and not plcards. I'd ask if someone here got it, but I'm not dumb enough to think the winner would admit it if he was a member here. I am surprised to see it go for far more than SAZ or Bonk SCD. I have my reasons for my bid and I genuinely didn't think anyone would put more on the table than that. Just hope the winner isn't looking to flip it for even more. If not, congrats whoever you are. :)

You know, come to think of it, I may have had that or something similar.  Otherwise, I wouldn't have known about Bomberman being on the disc as well.  It wasn't like a lot of people had the system, or there was readily available internet, ect..  I just cannot remember to say for sure though.  Thanks for the pic!

When I got my Duo new bitd, it did not include that card.  Strangely, I don't have the original Duo any longer, but I still have all the original paperwork that came with it. :)

Just hope the winner isn't looking to flip it for even more.

Kinda doubt it; after spending that much money, and that being way above what it normally sells, I don't see much potential for flipping or bought with the intent to flip (unless it was somebody like megahit79). After spending $624 on it, I doubt you're gonna be willing to roll the dice and start things off at .99 cents too... You'll have to put it up with a really shitty BIN and starting price as well. Whatever, I just know I'd never spend that kind of money on it... It's...wow. =\

Here you go guys! And its a little bigger than I remember. And from what I recall, I coulda swore this was inside the disk when I bought my Duo new back in the day.

Hm, pretty sure I never got that with my Duo and pack-in games. I learned about the secret game from the Turbo mags I was getting.
