UPDATED ON MARCH 8, 2005:
1. TurboEdge Newsletters (any!) -- these are the high-priority items since I will soon have all the other TG-16 periodicals (well, scans of them... of course I'm still looking for some issues for my personal collection).
2. Alan Hunter mini-poster (see link below). I have never seen this item. Anyone have it?
If you are inclined, go see all of my Wanted Items (http://home.comcast.net/~turboplay-magazine-archives-tg16/credits.html)
cheers!

I do have a few old egms from 91 -92 that I could try to scan for you the PCE and turbo stuff...some articles..I don't know anyone with a scanner but I'll figure something out.. even a VG&CE with zelda on the cover and some breaking articles I have seen on the turbo and genesis..which were forthcoming at that time. My friend may have some old turboplays or duoworlds...I'll see if he has #2...let me know what you are looking for-Josh

hi! and thanks for your offer :)
1. the list on my website needs a slight update. I would love scans of DUOWORLD # 2 (sept / oct 1993) . I am also looking for good scans of turboforce # 2 (I have scans for this issue, which I'll make available on my site soon, but I want to upgrade them as soon as possible).
2. If you are able to scan Turbo / Duo stuff from your collection, that would be super. Even if you can't scan it, I would be very happy if you posted: magazine name, issue #, page number, brief description of turbo content.
3. I will be compiling my own list (using the same format), and posting it at pcenginefx (and magicengine) boards once i start going through my old magazines and cataloguing them (2 weeks?). Any info you can contribute to this process would be greatly appreciated.
Once I have a decent list, I'll see if other web communities can add to it (i.e. turbolist).
Ultimately, this list (and scans) will become part of the "TG-16 Preservation" site I am currently working on.
whew, that was a rambling post!
-
...I'll need to go digging through my attic, but I'm pretty sure I still have copies of all of the TurboPlay issues...
Not interested in selling them, but can provide scans of issues/missing pages as necessary... Unless bugs have gotten into them, they should all be pretty mint.
I don't remember what other TG16 documentation I have, but have a large number of VGCE issues as well that may have some TG16 stuff as well; I want to say it contained reviews of TG stuff before TurboPlay was launched..
Edit - have all except #13; can't seem to find it :P Found issue#3 of Duoworld, TurboForce #1 & #2, Vol 1 & 2 of "Club Turbo Catalog of Games", along with a few promotional mailings with various brochures/handouts.
I can otherwise confirm that you'll definitely find TG16 content/reviews in VGCE (Video Games & Computer Entertainment) - I just checked.
-
General update: I've started cataloging my old magazines for TG16 / PCE content and I have found quite a bit of stuff so far. so far, it's primarily 92-94 coverage... which sucks because it's the earlier, 1989-1992 coverage that I would love. please note: my grammar sucks.

Thanks for looking :) I will have all of these items available online in the next few weeks (well, I might only have 1 of the Club Turbo Catalogs)... but I am curious about the mailings and brochures you may have. Even a short description of the items would be greatly appreciated.
You don't have any issues of TURBO EDGE (TG-16 newsletter), do you?

totally. VG&CE loved the PC engine and TG-16. I'm looking for this:
VG & CE April 1989 -- This issue has a feature... a sneek peek at the PC-Engine. Please tell me you have this issue.
VG & CE May 1989 -- well, it might be simply a SHORT blurb, but the PCE CD-ROM2 peripheral is mentioned in this issue... hopefully it's a nice article and not simply a 5 sentence news blurb.
-
Sorry; 1/91 appears to be about the earliest VG&CE I have; I may have more, but not sure - don't think I was involved w/ them earlier than that though. Otherwise have every issue for the next 2 or 3 years I believe.
Other stuff is basically direct mailing from TTI (Turbo Technologies Inc), and includes various product slicks; TurboDuo flyer, list of TurboChip & CD games, game discounts when purchased through TurboZone, flyer for SuperValis IV, Super System card brochure, and yet another brochure for the TurboDuo..
Don't see any of the Turbo Edge newsletters; will dig around some more to see if I ever had any.

All of those sound neat... but the SUPER VALIS IV flyer... I've never seen that. Please tell me more! Is it for SNES... because I don't think TTi even announced Valis IV for stateside release...
thanks in advance :) I appreciate your help.
-
My bad; you're correct - it was for the SNES version; that flyer slipped in with the others (I've got a lot of various flyers from the period). Didn't notice until I double-checked :?
I'll try and get the other stuff scanned in sometime soon and forward it your way.
-
Before you scan, let me check to see if I have some of that stuff already (I don't want you to toil needlessly!)
for example, the SuperSystem Card 3.0 upgrade flyer (i remember receiving that one)... I think it was double sided, but they used one of the sides for print ads... like this one:
Super System Card 3.0 advertisement (http://home.comcast.net/~archive-four/TF-03-32.jpg)
(I just prepared that page last night. it's page 32 -- back cover -- for TurboForce # 3... the entire issue will soon be online)
so maybe I just need that other side...
anyway, one sentence descriptions of each item should suffice.
if possible, scan at 300 dpi and save as a .bmp file (or a similar format that keeps raw image intact). otherwise, if you save as a .jpg... please choose the "maximum highest quality" setting :)
this will create huge files, but they allow me enough room to manipulate them (i.e. if there is a small portion of a catalog I want to enlarge... and have it still look nice and sharp).
I'll send you a PM now... thanks again!
