I got the date from TURBOFORCE #2. It's mentioned on Wikipedia and other places too

Just thought I'd post something I found white surfing . It's in Japanese but it doesn't say anything a good pce fan doesn't already know, but it's cool to see something different from time to time.

In the page there's links to core grafx 1 and 2 and the main page has other game stuff

If yad like I could translate it or other pages I come across. I just thought I'd share if noones ever found it

i would wager it to be bonk 3, for the turbochips.

damn it to hell that i had to throw away  all my VG and CE , my mom thought it would catch fire and our brand new house would be gone forever.

but i recall a small blurb there where turbochips were being rebraned as 'duosoft' starting with bonk 3. bonk 3 is also the first last and only game to adopt the TTI DUO style packaging with the artwork bordered around the TTI logo on the bottom and hucards on the side. also looking at japan bomberman 93 is vol 56 and bonk 3 is vol 58 this likely pins it as the final usa card game.

with the same packaging only a handful of games were made this way on CD. they are

beyond shadowgate
bonk 3 cd
dungeon explorer 2
dungeon mastre therons quest
dynastic hero
godzilla
madden
might and magic 3
riot zone
sherlock holmes 2
super air zonk
terraforming

so its automatically narrowed down to these if you believe the TTI labeling was the last batch of games. its my opinion that the last few were also made in severly low numbers. games  still available at turbo zone direct, i believe are not the last ones because many more are still available.

sherlock holmes 2 is labled as a CD and super CD. terraforming, a listed by pcecp.com lso has the feature, but its not on the case as such. the last true cd rom2 only game has to be buster bros. as it has a copyright date of 1993.

the only printed proof of an release dates i have seen recently was i found a scan of EGM from 1993 that lists beyond shadowgate as released in 1993. while this may have changed, its the only solid evidence i have seen of any games. (yea i could speculate on all the things i remember but in not lionel hutz where heresay and conjecture are kinds of evidence.)

the second one dos not hae a date listed on the magazine but it is next to a 3do games which means it must have been after  10/93.

i have seen some text transcripts of egm reviews and they have reviewed all the games it looks like, i think VG and CE did too, as for gamepro,who knows and who cares, and i think die hard game fan may have had some too. so if anyone has acces to these magazines they can crack the secret.

TZD had  put on their page at one point that bonk 3 cd  was put out in dec 94, by them not TTI and dead of the brain was the last NEC game as a ppoint of reference as to when it all stopped. bonk 3 cd also had no japanese release.  i you want to call it that you can, but it was not truly officially TTI.  out of the blue i would say it is dynastic hero as it has the highet catalog number. maybe 12-93 or anytime in 1994


also that page has some inaccuracies. the final snes game was yoshis story in 98 (unless i am wrong) N64 was powepuff girls or madden for that year and for PSX its also madden as or atari 2600 it not secret quest, is sentinnel in 1990. he also seems to mix up last games produced and last for sale. and there is also the matterof japan or euopean releases for places where systems still have/had life
