Hello, I've started collecting for the Micro Genius recently and I'm wondering if anyone has any for sale (or has come across in general) any original Micro Genius or TXC advertisements? Would love to see pictures or scans if you have any also! :D
I have seen a few online, but never saw one for sale.
Most of the original ads were exclusive to the Asian market.
While the rest of the world had no ads at all, or ads made by the people who sold their consoles, like Dendy, Pegasus, Gentry, ect.
Do Micro Genius magazines exist? I might have one, unless my memory is playing tricks on me. Will try to dig it out from the pile of crap-condition magazines.

pm sent on VGS about this.
If you do have something so interesting as this, our TV Game Foundation Formosa would like to purchase it for our museum.
Thanks
Internationally they had ads in Asian Sources Electronics as early as 1987, putting them in the first year of Famiclone manufacturing (not including arcade machines with no cartridge slot). Some other Famiclone companies are shown in this archived copy I found, like Songtly.
