    Was hoping someone could give me some info on a Turbografx 16 briefcase I bought at a garage sale a while back (see pics). I've tried googling for more info but all I could find were two similar Turbografx briefcases but neither match the one I have. Any help much appreciated.

    My other attachments didn't go through on safari for whatever reason, but the exterior is pretty much identical on the other briefcases

    If your on an apple device, every pic is named "image.jpg" for some stupid reason when selecting them from the camera roll. Since they all have the same name, they overwrite each other when you upload them.

    Looks like the breifcases used by video rental stores when renting systems. Or for carrying it to trade shows.

    No real information on this though just speculation.

    Wow I totally forgot about those! That's probably exactly what it is. Unfortunately my google-foo still fails to turn up anyone else with this particular case.

    Being a big TG-16 collector, this is probably not a official product. It might be 3rd party. Can you please provide a photo of the case closed? It may be official but not available to the general public.

    Yeah, I've seen this particular case a few times; pretty sure it's a rental case (there's a few threads on it on NintendoAge.com). There's another one out there that's slightly different shaped with the color logo on it, that's meant for the CD system.

    Just for reference, these are the two cases I come across most often when researching, both of which DO NOT match my case: http://i.imgur.com/4oVPKG1.jpg
