As I've blabbed about in a few threads now, I found some old Duo catalogs from TZD. These catalogs feature game descriptions and some other interesting stuff (like price lists from BITD). Because I have three copies of one of the catalogs, I think it'd be really cool to mail one of the copies around for people to thumb through. Currently tggodfrey has the catalog, but when he's done with it he's offered to mail it to anyone who wants to see it. If you'd like to see the catalog, post a message in here and he'll ship it to you once he gets done looking at it.

A few ground rules:

1) I suppose this is really up to whoever has the catalog currently, but it would be cool if whoever has the catalog pays for shipping it to the next person.

2) Please respect the catalog. Yes I've got a couple other copies, but let's not ruin it for anyone else that would like to see it. Please be careful to avoid spilling beer/peeing on it if you can.

3) Please don't hang on to it for too long. It'd suck if someone just pocketed it, and I'll be pissed if I see it on ebay.

If anyone has access to a decent scanner, I'd love to see this scanned as well. Other than that, let's have fun with this! Spread the wealth! The catalog is one of the three that looks the same at the bottom of this photo (sorry, I'm too lazy to go take another pic of it).

OK, maybe one more rule: when you ship the catalog to the next person, post in here so we can track where the catalog currently is. :)

already got it, but very cool idea!!
Jossshhhhh...Legendary TurboTrollX-16: He revenge-bans PCE Developers/Ys IV Localizers from PCE Facebook groups and destroyed 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Josh 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 (extortion/blackmail!), never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

I just shipped the catalog to a random address in Iran. Hopefully the person who receives it will post here when it shows up and/or when they send it to someone else.

If not, well, uh, oops!

It's a write off for sure. That doesn't mean I want people to abuse this. Honestly I'd like to see more of this. I know it's far fetched, but a game lending program would be stupidly awesome.

MotherGunner

And let's start with Magical Chase.  Send yours to me Sadler!

Sure! I'm also thinking about a gold bar lending program. PM your address and I'll send you a gold bar to check out. I trust it'll get sent back. :D

OK, fine, yeah, that probably wouldn't work. :(

MotherGunner

Hey look at it this way.  I just saved you a whole lot of tears....  =)

Well.....not sure anyone wants it now.  Went out last night to a strip club with a bunch of friends.  Had a great time, one guy brought mushrooms, another brought Acid.  Never having tried either in my youth, i decided i should.  Well after a shroom or two.....nothing so I moved on to the Acid.  Yeah.....delayed reaction and next thing i knwo a was wacked out of my gord!   Apparently i got us kicked out of the club and my friend proceeded to drop me off at home.  really messed up stuff on the way home but back on topic here.

I get home and there the cataloge is sitting on my table.  its really strange when a little booklet sits up and explains how the law of demand and supply is screwwing you but you are too stupid to really notice it or give a damn.  So there I am flipping throught the cataloge as its talking to me in this creepy voice and I see things liek Terraforma and MC for 50.00.  Holy crap I burst out and the cataloge explains how I need these becuase they will be worth a great deal of money!  Being wacked out of my mind I rush to the phone and frantically try dialing TZD about 15 times......the number wont go through....HHMM.  So I then attempt to send emails.....they kept getting rejected and after 5 tries i got pretty pissed.  After all I had money and wanted games and the whoel time the cataloge is warning me that I better hurry and get them.  Next thing I knwo the cataloge and I are arguing and it keeps calling me an incompetant crack pot!  This put me into a frenzy as i proceeded to wrinkle and throw the cataloge around the room.  Now keep in mind I has pretty messed up with 2 hits of Acid and 4 shrooms in my system as I begin to tell you what I experienced next........  As the cataloge bounced off my fish tank it began screaming and bleeding from the spine.  No i am not kidding.  It was screaming with this high pitched wailing cry that i freaked out.  I became overwealmed with a fear someone would here this screaming and I would land my butt in Jail!  I am def not one to spend any time locked up....do you know what they do to good looking guys like me?

Freaked out and worried I proceeded to try and stop the wailing by smothering the cataloge with a pillow.....that didnt work.  I couldnt think with all the barking from my two dogs, the screaming and now i swore i heard the door bell ringing.....I knew it, someone heard and called the cops.  I tore the catalog in half to kill it and stop the dreaded crying.....it just bled more.  By this time there was blood all over me and the floor from thsi ever so tiny catalog!  I tried shoving it one half into the microwave and one half into the stove but it was so loud.  I proceeded to stuff one half into the garbage disposal and turn it on......that didnt work, now the drain pipes were resonating with the screamign and the door bell got louder.  There was screaming coming from the floor....I looked down and my dogs were playing tug of war with the other half.........it cried out in agony.  Next thing I know I wake up in my attic with the half my dogs were fighting with, its full of some white sticky stuff and ihave paper cuts in the wierdest places..........I......AM.......SO.......CONFUSED.

So who wants it next?  Its ready to ship!
