no, that's fine, just daydreaming

OK, I don't think anyone is actually desperate enough to do this, but, then again,
you never really know what sort of goofy projects we are capable of doing.

Now that dear leader has an official one in the store, I'll go that route

Oh, I know only the most desperate people will do this ;) , that's what I like about it .

Also, $5 + shipping is a bit steep for me. I like to make stuff available to everyone, especially folks who are traditionally deprived of arts-n-crafts projects

Plus, I don't know if I have to balls to keep this on my bumper. I don't know if I want to explain it to other parents at my daughter's school.... it would be pretty goofy...

[guyjin]

don't conform to those snerds at your daughter's school! be a rebel! A turbo rebel!

That's the most awesome emoticon I've ever seen.

I hear ya. I was actually thinking about it today as I was driving to my in-laws. It's a pretty awesome bumpersticker, how could I take it off?

Also, we had a lot of rain today and it's still fine. DIY at its finest.

Oh yeah, and nat's right about the emoticon.

[Sparky]

Yeah... both sizes of the Bonk bumper sticker will print off nice but i think i will go with the one on the PCE Outlet with the uv inks and water resistant as this canadian country boy wants it to last throw rain & snow!!! will go on the back window so no worries on if i have to remove it later.

Would it be wrong for me to modify it to say "Honk if ya want to Bonk"  ...just an idea

esteban i have 3 old EGM mags 1989-1991 (with tg content) one is cool as it has the "Best & Worst Of 1989" some good shit there
looked on the archive and could not see'm but will pm ya to confirm.

I replaced the TG16 logo with prez bush tho..an moved his pic to look like it took a hard hit from bonk

Going to Turbo Play #1, view all scans, and picking page 32 says that it's not found.  The link to page 32 in the text works, but links to TP-02-32.jpg, not to TP-01-32.  (Was the ad duplicated from month to month?)

Is there any way to download a set of jpgs for an individual issue as a zip file or such so I can view it in an external reader?  (Which would also require having duplicate ads if necessary)  And without the logos on each page.  Logos on each page are useful when you're creating a web site to keep from being ripped off, but they're lousy when it comes to preserving material.

WILL HAPPEN, EVENTUALLY: Yeah, I want to re-scan all the issues and have a .pdf available. Anyone who is interested in helping me with this should drop me an email ;)

WILL HAPPEN, EVENTUALLY: Once I get tons of the "single page scans" from random publications available, I'd like to make .pdf's available by publication title (so, all the EGM content in one .pdf, all the EB catalogs in another .pdf, etc. ...or something like that)...

FANTASY: A pipe dream of mine is that the .pdf's will have embedded text, which would allow them to be fully searchable (plus, text would be selectable, for copy & past...). The problem, of course, is that even the best OCR software generates a lot of errors and only careful manual copyediting will eliminate these errors.

Riftwar Saga looks like a great game, hope that it is released one day.

Riftwar Saga looks like a great game, hope that it is released one day.

This is one of the titles I have been most intrigued by! It is an enigma. I would love to find one of the developers and interview them.

I doubt we'll ever be fortunate enough to unearth the original assets of the game, let alone a playable demo, but I would love to find out if the game ever made it past a few screen mock-ups...

[esteban]

Here is EGM's 1993 Buyer's Guide (.pdf) (I'm just learning how to use the OCR software, so the text embedded in the .pdf is pretty garbled...)

See which TG-16 titles earned some respect from EGM editors (hint: Cosmic Fantasy 2, Air Zonk, Gate of Thunder, etc.). Also, inspect the enigmatic (and unreleased) Bonk RPG as well as the interesting category created for Dragon Knight 3 (PCE). The most interesting category? Well, that would have to be the "BEST VIDEO GAME RUMOR" (Street Fighter II as a CD-ROM for TG-CD and Sega CD! Imagine the loading times!) You might also enjoy the prescient article entitled "CDs—The Future of Video Gaming" amongst other TG-16 goodies.

If you want to get high-resolution .jpg files of individual pages, use the .pdf as a reference to change the PAGE NUMBER in the link below:

Very cool!

[esteban]

Very cool!

Especially Street Fighter II CD-ROM and Bonk RPG

[meka]

Cosmic fantasy 2 was alright, but I liked Dragon Slayers 2 a whole lot more.

Thanks for sharing :@)

Any updates in the last year?   

[esteban]

Any updates in the last year?  

I suck completely. I have lots of random stuff I upload, then I forget about, and the worst part: if I don't update the database (the big sortable table), then 99.99% of folks will never know it is available (because the only link to the scan is in a random post, in a random topic).

WHICH REMINDS ME, I'm pretty sure I have to update the list of instruction manuals available...Bernie scanned ~5 that I don't think I ever listed on the website (they are listed here at the forum).

WHICH REMINDS ME, I have old TG-16/PCE desktop/mobile wallpaper I never made available...

Etc. etc.
