1. Who drew the Johnny Turbo ads? What else has he done?

2a. Who gave the go-ahead to a fat neckbeard in a green jumpsuit as a company mascot?
2b. Is he now doing time for the above offense?

Thank you for your time.  :-({|=

I often wonder how many millions of Turbo Duos were sold as a result of the Johnny Turbo comics.  Or rather, not sold.

LOL PCE Hell. Seriously, though. Does anyone know who drew these things? I don't really plan on doing anything with the information, I just have this insatiable appetite for useless trivia.

The suspected artist also worked on (a very gay looking) Superman.

Some goofs at TTI thought it would be funny to blow their advertising budget on a comic strip parodying a couple of their coworkers (yes, Johnny Turbo is a real person). I'm guessing that they'd already decided that the Turbo was about to die, so why not do something stupid like this. Kinda like Sega's Panzer Dragoon Saga ads.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

Holy crap, BT, that PBS special on CD-ROM technology with the real-life Johnny Turbo was priceless!

awack

Ha, good stuff.

I never understood the concept behind Johny turbo, is he suppose to be a serious super hero type or a comical character, he doesn't really look all that comical or all that serious, well, what ever they where going for......i find disturbing.

It's been a while since I've checked out that site. I forgot how the author's ridiculous anti-Turbo rants were just as ridiculous as the messages of the Johnny Turbo campaign.

They made fun of Saturn fans not being able to buy the game because they printed so few copies. They told you to cut out a mask and run around your yard flapping your arms instead.

It's on this site-

At the bottom of the Articles page.

This is proof that Sega USA not only really did hate their fans, but wanted them to know it too.

For the money it cost to create and publish that ad, they could have made at least 50 or 55 more copies of Panzer Dragoon Saga and then the game wouldn't be so super-r@re.

The issue isn't even that the game is rare so much, they printed 30,000 copies which is about average for a domestic Saturn game (the initial print run of 6,000 and then two runs of 12,000). The issue is more that the people that own the game aren't selling their copies.

There are always tons of copies for sale. The issue is Saturn "collectors".

Well a lot of the issue is people who are selling the game are typically those who bought the game to play it, finish the game, and then resell it, so the same copies repeatedly wind up on ebay.
