TurboEdge Volume 1, Issue 2 (Fall 1991)
*TurboGrafx-16 | Newsletters | Old School | TG-16: Publications
The second issue of NEC Technologies' official newsletter for the TurboGrafx-16, TurboEdge, came out in the fall of 1991. This issue was much improved over the first issue, with a much more polished layout and better articles and information. In fact, this is quite possibly one of the best newsletters I've ever read! Highlights include the handy chart of release dates for upcoming games, news of the first 6Meg Turbochip (Raiden), a two-page Q&A section, a crossword puzzle contest to win a TurboExpress, and a great article on none other than Working Designs, the third-party publisher responsible for localizing some of the best PC Engine games from Japan. I remember reading this issue over and over again, and now you can too!
