Canadian TG16 games - french foldout

[c0ldb33r]

I saw a thread about this over at pcenginefx, but they have so few users that it's hard to get any information.

Which Canadian turbografx games came with the french foldout instruction sheet?

I don't recall Blazing Lasers or Ninja Spirit having them.

My copy of Bonk 3 came with french folding instructions. Was it only the games in cardboard boxes?

Here's what my Bonk 3 one looks like:

Hmm, it would seem reasonable that it's just the cardboard box games, given the el cheapo packaging mindset of the time. My TG16 stuff, all Canadian, is in storage at the moment but I'll take a look next weekend unless a definitive answer comes about before then. I can't for the life of me remember the French instructions situation of the jewel casel-less games, although I seem to recall that the packaging for my copy of Veigues Tactical Gladiator is entirely in French.

Alright, so after having had a chance to rummage through my TurboGrafx stuff in search of those French foldout instructions, only one game that I own has them, and that's Darkwing Duck. Most of my TG16 games were purchased new and I believe that the packaging has remained intact throughout the years but it's possible that these French instruction sheets, if they were amongst the contents, may have gotten lost in the shuffle at some point. Alternately, I suspect that the other "cardboard box only" TG16 games I own came courtesy of Turbo Zone Direct which would probably make them the U.S. versions.

I have 3 games with them:
Ballistix
New Adventure Island
Time Cruise

Ballistix did come in a jewel case. Inside the Ballistix jewel case is a small taped on piece of paper indicating copyrights to NEC, it looks very very hand done. So I suspect this was just NOS that TTI inherited.

Fair to assume it's just the games with plastic trays and maybe some oddball games with enough left over copies to justify printing a french manual and most likely only sold through TZD.

Just my guess, I got Ballistix off ebay.

My copy of Raiden came with a fold-out french manual.
