Flyers, Mailers and Advertisements

[RoyVegas]

Here are the Working Designs Direct Line mailers that I said I had in another thread.  They've been passed on to esteban for safe keeping in his archive.  

I figured it wouldn't hurt to make a thread for scans of random Turbo stuff that people might have lying around.  Maybe you have something that the community hasn't seen before or maybe you might have something that esteban can put in his archive that he doesn't have already.  I'll add a few more things I have later.  Anyway, enjoy.

Here's a couple mailers TTi sent out.  The games that never made it make you wonder or even some of the game names being different than their final releases is just cool.

Comparison pic of the Bonk poster and a Champions Forever Boxing poster.  The Bonk poster you see pretty often but the Champions Forever Boxing one is few and far between.  My assumption would be that it was a pack in with the early Champs Boxing's. Then again that's only as assumption.  Anyone ever opened a Champs new and had the poster in it?

[roflmao]

These are awesome!  I never knew WD was planning on bringing Spriggan over here, or working on Cosmic Fantasy III!  Some of those letters were hilarious.

[MotherGunner]

I love how one of those adverts has "Riot City" and "Crest of Wolf" in the coming soon section right next to each other.

LOL, you beat me to it. It jumped directly into my eyes..hahaha.

[OldRover]

I had two different versions of the VHS tape... the first one mentioned "two-megabit megahits", and the second replaced it with "super cd megahits"... I guess they realized that going from 1 megabit to 2 megabits is NOT 4x the memory (and it's not 1 megabit, it's 512 kilobits... and that actually *is* an increase by a factor of 4). "Let the games begin!" Ah, the cheese of 90s marketing.

[JoshTurboTrollX]

Wow, these scans are incredible, exciting, emotional, awesome, rippin', slammin', dope, fresh, nuclear, and amazing!!

Thanks for the share.  Fun reads!!

[NecroPhile]

Thanks for the scans, Roy.


I presume Cyber Twins was going to be translated Shubibinman 3, no?

[tggodfrey]

Club Turbo Catalog of Games Vol. 1 (1992).  I will get Vol. 2 scanned soon.

Prepare for the wall of scans.

[VestCunt]

Thanks! I've been curious about these other "Club" catalogs for a long time. The mini advice points look like RegalSin could have written them: "some of the weapons are useless, so don't pick them up" (Blazing Lazers), "place your bombs carefully so you don't get killed by your own bomb" (Bomberman) and "despite its grotesque details and alien characters, Alien Crush is an exciting pinball simulation game."

Oh look - Dungeons and Dragons is a board game!

LOL @ gate of thunder runnin' on the Turbo Express.

Didn't know the US got the CD-attachment to the TE

Club Turbo Video Game Catalog Vol. 2 1992/1993

[RoyVegas]

The thing that always makes me laugh is on page 20 of the Club Turbo catalog Vol. 1 (on the green Coming Soon page on the left)..  It says in December the release of "Bonk's Thunder Shooting (name may change)"..  I'm really glad they went with Air Zonk. Bonk's Thunder Shooting just really isn't catchy. 

[VestCunt]

I assumed that referred to the 3in1 disc. Air Zonk makes a lot more sense.

[Nec.Game.head]

Awesome scans.. Thanks for sharing guys!

I had some more stuff to add to this thread (2 Turbo Edge mailers) and sadly realized all the links broke when I moved my photobucket around.  Going to try to see if I can get them all back in order and then add the new ones.  My apologies!
