I'm pretty sure the case you're referencing was designed by Joe Redifer here.  If I'm not mistaken, the original cases didn't have ANY backing in them, which is why a couple of folks here have created 'em. :)

The pack in CD Gate of thunder, the back of it did. I will double check when I get home. I originally ordered my 3.0 card from the back of the magazine.

Nope CP.  The pack in was in a plain jane white jewel case.  No inserts.  :(

Oh wait, I forgot the Gate of thunder I bought was from someone here, I originally sold my Gate of thunder long time ago. So yup, you guys are totally correct.

This is just speculation guys, but I once bought and opened a brand new Turbo Duo, with the Gate of Thunder pack in of course, and it did NOT have that little card. The copy of the game I have now DOES have that card. Perhaps it was only included when bought seperately from the Duo system?

that or it could hve been a later addition.  I got my duo right when they came out and it didnt come with that.  I too learned about it in the turbo mags.

I bought my Duo straight from TZD brand new years ago and it did not have that card with it. Wish I still had my old Duo. Goddamn bills and life responsibilities made me get rid of it. I still have pics of it with my original NEC collection I built years ago. Slowly but surely it's coming back together though. Except for a brand new Duo. f*ck paying a few grand.

I don't believe it was ever sold separately in the US, only as part of the 4-in-1 pack-in deal.

If you sent away for the Super System Card, you had a choice of either:

For $65... the 3.0 card by itself, or

For $95... the 3.0 card + the Gate of Thunder 3 in 1 Duo pack in game

So you could get the 3 in 1 without the Duo

Don't know, I can only tell you what I bid on it—which was less than someone else was willing to pay.

Crack smoke pure and simple.

What do you spend you pleasure money on? I'd like to mock it.

Certainly not on a average game that could be emulated for free. There are better things I can spend $600 on and this isn't one of them.
