These look pretty cool! I guess the idea is to just lay the HuCard inside the DVD case? Would a HuCard fit inside a slim DVD case?

Lumberjack42,
Do you have the Turbo/PC Engine templates available for download?  I'm eager to get started making some new covers.

I'm still doing some tweaking and waiting for Snowcone to add a TG-16/PC Engine section to the site.

How about naming the category TurboGrafx 16?
All the consoles we have that were released in European, American and Japanese territories are listed here with their US name (e.g Genesis instead of Mega Drive or NES instead of Famicom). So I think using TurboGrafx 16 as a category name would be the best.

The templates you created make it easy to distinguish between the different versions (TG-16/PCE or PCE CD/Turbo CD). So we could have a TG-16 section, put all related covers in there and avoid the console menu on the left being cluttered.

What do you think?

That's fine with me. My only thought to that was that there are about 6 times the games for the PC Engine family than there are for the TG-16/CD/Duo.

But we will also need to make a PC-FX section.

The TG16 section is now on the site (as well as in the raw section) so I'm going to make my final tweaks to the template and post it on divshare. If anyone has scans that they want made into covers, upload them into the raw section and I'll make them into pretty covers for you.

I uploaded some Raws for Dracula X: Rondo of blood (PC-Engine CD), It came from the desert (TG-16 CD), Shadow of the Beast (TG-16 CD).

I have Y's Book 1 and 2, however it is missing back insert in the CD Jewel case.

I really need to collect more of these.

I paid a mint for that game in awesome condition a week or so before it was announced to finally come to the US on the PSP.

Another great job.

Found something on CAG that you TG16/PC Engine people might like :)
 
Fellow CAG evilmax17 wrote the following:

"http://www.tzd.com

Very reputable site. All they sell is new, factory sealed TG-16 and Duo stuff."

Quote from the site itself:

"Hello,

Turbo Zone Direct must clear out inventory! Our loss is your gain!

Well it had to happen, TZD must clear out thousands of inventory items before we must move in 30 days. This is your opportunity to save a bundle and lighten the load we must move. Here's an offer you can't beat, one we've never made before. We're offering 50% off our ENTIRE inventory for the month of November. Here are the details: You must include MOVING SALE in the comments section of your order. You must purchase at least $30.00 worth of merchandise at the net cost (after the 50% is deducted.) We will adjust the order total here. Your credit card is not charged until the order is picked to assure you the correct amount.

As usual nothing is held back, there are no limits to the number of items you may purchase or the number of orders you may place. This offer will end November 31,2007. We expect to close out a number of titles during this sale; we will make every effort to update the web site. This is a golden opportunity for you to stock up on your favorite Turbo merchandise at a super price. Don't miss out! Turbo merchandise not sold by TZD is getting harder and harder to find. As you know everything we sell is new, factory-sealed merchandise.

We do not know yet where we will be in 30 days so act now!

TZD is also looking for a wholesaler that might be able to take on or take over the legacy we started in 1994. If any of you know of a company or organization that can handle bulk resale of these classic video games, parts and accessories, please use our email contact at www.tzd.com Feel free to write if you have any questions, you know we value your input and support."
