Clarence,
     Ahhhhh, but check that add again CLOSELY. If I read it correctly, the
2 games for $69 and 3 games for $99 is only if you also send in your old
TG-16 machine! I guess this is aimed at people who bought a Duo and did not
know about or take advantage of the $50.00 off if you sent in your TG-16
base unit offer. 

     Overall, the tow packets of advertisements/announcements I received 
were pretty good. Wish they did more national advertising so more people
would buy the system leading to more demand for games, etc.
