Anyone ever cash any of those points that were on the manuals of the later era games? Did they even do anything at the time? Always wondered about that...
-
Me too since at least one of my games is missing its points. I wanna know why!!!

I don't think TTi even got as far as sending out membership cards and/or the T2 Team Club Catalog.
Proof?
Well, to date, we have never had any physical/anecdotal evidence of:
Catalog for T2 Team Club
Membership Card for T2 Team Club
Credible stories of redeeming points (which, of course, are suspect to begin with, considering we have no proof of a catalog)
-
I never did anything with the points or even saw something concrete that I could do with 'em, but I did mail in a couple UPCs with the $5 rebate coupons packed in with the Duo.
-
My copy of Dragon Slayer has the UPC removed. I assume that was for the rebate thing? No idea about Turbo Points though.

How many TurboPoints for Dragon Slayer?
I reckon all the software was the same (4 points), but who knows? Maybe some game has a different point value...
UPDATE:
So, this thread inspired me to go back and finish an old page from 10+ years ago. I just keep finding new things I want to add.

My memory of the Turbo Points is foggy, but I got atleast 1 Bomberman hat, among a few other things with those points. That was before I got to know the secretary over there, who hooked me up with several Bomberman hats, stickers, & I think was the one that gave me the Sherlock Holmes 2 matchbook calculator, as I don't think I got that with the points, but I'm 99% positive about 1 Bomberman hat I got with points. I feel like maybe I got another thing or 2 with points, but I just don't remember for sure.

Whoa, nice page, super interesting!

Ok, I guess I gotta check all the games now to see how many TurboPoints were awarded for each.
4-5 points a game, I guess.

Comrade, I think you were the lucky bastard who was getting freebies. :).
I wrote in 2-3 times, and each time I received something (Legendary Axe T-shirt, Devils Crush T-shirt).
I suspect that TTi intended to have a real Merchandise Catalog for the T2 Team Club...but they were struggling financially and other things to worry about.
