Greetings and Salutations (Added scans of my last items)

[IvanBeavkov]

Phew I'm finally done. Here are the TZD Catalog scans!

I have spread them across multiple posts because I don't think the forum would like over 30 images in one post.

I particularly like the layouts used in TZD catalogs 3, 4, 5, & 6. I think they are really sharp and eye catching.

High quality PNG files of the catalogs can be found here:

TZD Catalog 7

[johnnykonami]

It's total murder looking at the once-could-be-had-for prices on all of the heavy hitters... 

But thanks for the scans!  I have some TZD stuff somewhere around here but I'm thinking you've probably already scanned it anyway.

I can't even remember what I bought from them, I think it might have been replacement pads and possibly a turbotap.  Probably some games.  Who knows?

Ya I agree, If I wasn't a kid back then I would have bought everything. Also the buy one get on 1/2 off deal, oh what could have been.

OMG!

All these awesome scans!!!!

I love it.

OMG.

There is an inappropriate joke in there but it is obscure. I'll have to see if YouTube has an old PSA....

Thanks again, some great stuff you have shared there

[IvanBeavkov]

Here are a couple more flyers.
Go here for high res PNG files:

Looking at these flyers you can see how the people at TTi really  tried to promote the system. If they only would have gotten some support from Japan, I truly believe the market would have been split 3 ways in the 16 bit era.

Here we got the Super System Card Flyer.


Did you get your Lords of Thunder T-Shirt?

[IvanBeavkov]

I finally got around to scanning these letters I got TTI and TZD. While these are not the most interesting, there are a couple of cool nuggets of information in them.

The high res versions of these letters can be found at this link.

Wow what a great collection! It really takes me back to my childhood looking at these. Are you selling some of these on Ebay? Someone listed several of these adds and brochures on Ebay this morning. I hope someone isn't making copies and selling them off as originals. Thanks for sharing and keeping all this stuff safe for all these years.  Cheers!!!

Thanks, no that is not me selling those things. I would hope someone is not using my scans to make reproductions to sell but, there is not really much I can do about that and I won't take my scans down to prevent that. I think it is more important to share the info so more people can see and enjoy it. I did a quick search on ebay and didn't see any. If you wouldn't mind posting the links I would like to see them.

[Marto_Jo-ing]

Here you go, take a look. Here is just a couple of the links. Same seller.

That toolbag has been around selling such shat for a long time, long before IB started scanning and sharing his goodies.

Wow really people will pay that much for a flyer? I guess people will collect anything. I find them interesting as historical artifacts, a small glimpse into the past.

It is neat to see the TTI Trade In Flyer in color though, I would not have guessed it having so much  green.

[esteban]

I love all of this stuff!

FYI: TZD was still charging $2 per manual until they went out of business, IIRC. But the note is on a TTi letter, so I guess TZD simply never changed TTi's price....

I ordered a bunch of manuals towards the end of TZD...

NOTES:

(1) Jeff (Game Counselor) — February 10, 1993

Where is he now? I can probably figure out what I was doing on February 10, 1993. No joke.

(2) Rentrak — never heard of this company before...

(3) Los Angeles = October 1992 launch of DUO
May 1993 = DUO available in nine markets nationwide (can we guess the biggest cities?)

(4) I never met anyone who called any of the silly video game hotlines (for any system). WHY WAS TTi and TZD pushing so hard? Did folks really call these tip lines? It boggles my mind. They mention the damn tip line in every damn letter (or nearly every letter).

[CrackTiger]

I believe that I got one color TTi letter and one b&w.

It was with the second letter that they sent me a LoT t-shirt and DM: Theron's Quest for being such a hadcore Turbo/PCE fan.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

The only freebie I ever got was a promo VHS tape, so I must not've been hardcore enough. 

[Psycho Punch]

Funny how black and white letters from customer representatives 20 years ago can be so interesting

[IvanBeavkov]

Here are scans of the 2 Club Duo catalogs I have. Vol 1 still has a couple of games in it that were never released in the US. Vol 2 is just all the released Super CD games.

Go here for high res versions of both catalogs and all 32 pages of Club Duo Vol 1.

[IvanBeavkov]

Never knew there was a club duo vol II...

Nope no cover, it is just a 2 page catalog the size of 2 sheets of 8.5 X 11 paper.

[CrackTiger]

Club Duo Vol. 1 was given out at Radio Shack in Canada.

Goddamn, I never knew about this, either.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

I drooled all over that King of Monsters 2 page back in the day.  Alas, it wasn't to be. 

[IvanBeavkov]

So I finally got around to scanning these last couple items. Nothing too exciting but hopefully interesting. Well I hope everyone enjoyed all of these scans, I know it has been a trip through memory lane for me.

I Have added high quality versions to this link.

Get Zonked, with these stickers that came on a postcard.


A TZD postcard catalog.



Here is the postcard I got when my TurboPlay subscription turned into DuoWorld.


Here is the letter I got when Turbo Force ended and they switched my subscription over to EGM.

[Warbucks]

This thread is awesome, it is like a history lesson in Turbo.

I'm glad you like it. Unfortunately I have gotten to the end of the random turbo artifacts that I have. I wish I had more.
