- A few months ago there was an advert in one of the gaming magazines about
- getting a bunch of info on the Duo and a free video. Well, all of it came
- and I thought i would share it with you. I apologize if any of this has
- already been posted.
-
- All in all, the video is pretty average. It starts out with advertisments for
- new games: Darkwing Duck, Soldier Blade (a sequal to Super Star Soldier),
- Air Zonk, and does some stuff on the Turbo Tap. It then breaks into how
- you can now play with 'Power Plus' and starts the advert for the Super CD
- ROM Upgrade card. Then it breaks into the new games coming out that you
- can play with the upgrade card:
-
- Action:
- Prince of Persia
- Gate of Thunder
- Camp California
- Shadow of the Beast
- Riot City
-
- Adventure:
- Shape Shifter
-
- Role Playing:
- Dragon Slayer
- Loom
-
- Then it breaks into the advertisement for the Turbo Duo which is basically
- just an exact replay of the upgrade card stuff.
-
- The best stuff that came with mailing was the literature. First, the good
- news for those who own a TG-16 already, you can get the Super System Card
- for just $65 or, for $95, you can get the upgrade card, plus one CD with
- Gate of Thunder, Bonk's Adventure, and Bonk's Revenge, plus the $50 coupon
- book. Just call 1-800-366-0136 for more info.
-
- There is also a pamphlet on the TurboDuo with all of the general info I
- think everyone knows about. Nothing new here except it does point out
- that you can use the CD player for your Mac or IBM (interface card sold
- separetely.)
-
- I also got the Club Turbo Video Game Catalog which has these new releases
- described (if you want any of these in detail, just send me e_mail, I don't
- have time to write up every one):
-

-
- Then there was one more piece of paper with info on trading in your old
- 16 or 8-bit system. Get $50 off the 16-bit and $30 off the 8-bit. Just
- call 1-800-995-9203.
-
- Here are the numbers advertised most throught the stuff:
-

- 1-800-366-0136
-
- For questions about hot titles, game tips, or general product information:
- 1-900-FUN-TG16 (no rates are given.)
-
- They also have this same Free Video offer on one of the TurboDuo pamphlet
- so if you want to see what I received, here is the info:
-
- 'For a free 20 minute video of the new Turbo Duo and our software
- lineup (while supplies last), sned your name, address, age, sex
- and tell us which game system you use now to:
-

-
- Hope this provides more info on what TTI has to offer. I haven't gotten
- a Duo yet but I am definatly planning to. If you want any more info on
- any of the literature I have (more game info, etc.) Just let me know
- and I can e_mail you.
