I was just watching an old episode of 'Computer Chronicles' where John 'Johnny Turbo' Brandstetter is demonstrating some of the TurboDuo's various features. He shows off 'Lords of Thunder' and the unreleased Turboduo SCSI interface, but he also demonstrates a Turbo CD version of an interactive children's book called 'Thomas' Snowsuit' from a company called Discis Books. From what I can gather there was a whole series of these sorts of titles released on various computer platforms and even Memorex's ill-fated VIS system, but the Turbografx version has obviously gone unreleased. What I'm wondering is if protos of this or any other planned TG-16 educational software have popped up over the years. He only shows the one page so I'm curious as to whether this was a near-finished product or just an early demo.
Here's the episode where it's demonstrated:
