I got this from Radio Shack. Even then I figured that the Macross games and WD's Neo Geo ports would never come out in North America.

Very cool.

Awesome.

These scans are great. Can someone send them over to the archive for posterity?

They did as much as Working Designs did the games they published.

Somebody else was saying they recently scanned this catalog, but I didn't see it on Estaban's page when I checked yesterday before scanning. If anyone wants to take these and host them, please do. I can send the originals in a .zip if need be.

I totally crapped my pants when this catalog came in the mail. I was twelve and had six turbochips at the time; the most graphically impressive being Legendary Axe 2. Finally, here were the RPGs and advanced graphics I had been waiting for! Unfortunately, I couldn't afford CD hardware and it seemed Turbochips were being abandoned. Even so, I saved some money for a Duo over the next year until the realized the system had been discontinued and no one sold it anymore. I sadly sold my TG16 and didn't get a Duo until '97 when I drove past Games to Go in Richfield, MN and my jaw hit the floor - they had a neon "TurboGrafx16" logo sign in the window!

PM sent.

It may be redundant, but it doesn't hurt to have as many original scans as possible.

I think we would all want that neon TG-16 sign right now!

One of the owners is still in the used game store biz and I see him once a year or so. I'll see if he still has it.

Don't tease. I'll totally buy it.

I forgot they were considering Wizardry. Kind of a weird choice all things considered.

Not really considering we still haven't had a decent remake of the game here in the U.S to this day. It would be sooooooo cool if someone decided to fan translate the rest of the japanese text in these games even though a good chunk of those games are in english anyway.

turbofan1 · 01/30/2012, 12:28 AM

I found it kinda strange they were considering the two Macross (Robotech) games.Did robotech really have that big of A following in the early nineties?.And im still pissed after all these years,that we never got Spriggan.

Retrocool · 01/30/2012, 03:16 AM

I have this catalogue and I always hoped Macross 2036 would have been released... i cry now for an english version.

kiketonto · 01/31/2012, 01:00 PM

Thank you for the catalog, nothing like that arrives to Spain.
