TurboEdge Volume 2, Issue 1 (Spring 1992)

*TurboGrafx-16 | Newsletters | Old School | TG-16: Publications

TurboEdge Vol.2 Issue 1The third and final issue of TurboEdge is here! Released in the spring of 1992, this issue continues the look and layout of Issue Two, and likewise has some great information. There's an article to answer all the frequently asked questions about the CD-ROM format, a list of new games coming out (Valis III being the best one), and an all new contest to win a TurboGrafx CD system! This issue also includes the announcement of the formation of Turbo Technologies, Inc. (or TTI for short). Turbo Technologies, Inc. officially began operating on April 1st, shortly after this final issue of TurboEdge, and was made up of employees from NEC and HudsonSoft. Naoyuki Tsuji, former president of HudsonSoft USA and president of TTI, has a welcome letter on page eight.

Once TTI was operating, I didn't receive new issues of TurboEdge. It is safe to say that TTI decided not to publish and create new issues, and instead focused on other ways to promote the TurboGrafx, such as the Club Turbo catalogs and other mailings which will be explored on this site in the future.

At any rate, summaries for each page is listed below, or just click on the thumbnails to start reading!
