Zynga The Pioneer Trail launch shirt, dated to 08/08/2011! Zynga shirts 4/4

Zynga is an important part of Austin gaming history, for better and for worse, after picking up Challenge Games in 2010. At the time it felt like Austin was going to be a mobile gaming hub, and we kinda were!
A light brown t-shirt with a cartoon of an Angry Turkey on it. Text reads: The Pioneer Trail with a white Zynga logo A crappy picture of the sleeve, which has a white zynga logo and the date 08/08/2011 The back of the shirt, which shows the turkey from the front both calmed down and surrounded by its feathers which have fallen off.

Words with Friends Zynga launch shirt, dated to August 2011. Apparently this was everyone's favorite shirt, and I can see why! Unclear what exactly launched in August 2011! Zynga 3/4
A black t-shirt with 4 scrabble-style Words with Friends tiles spelling out WORD: W (5) O (1) R (1) D (2) Was it necessary for me to describe the point values of these tiles? It was not. The sleeve of the Words with Friends shirt, it has the Words with Friends logo (words with friends in front of a black speech bubble), a red zynga word mark, and August 2011 in red.

"Contraband" Longhorn Dog Zynga shirt, undated but likely around 2010. I was told that the CEO did not like this shirt so stopped production, the Austin, TX team members (formerly Challenge Games) who have one are lucky! Zynga shirts 2/4
A red t-shirt, it has a dog logo on it which has the long horns of the Longhorn, symbol of Austin. On its chest is the Challenge Games logo, stylized and interlocking C and G (they don't look like the letters). Under this t says "zynga | austin" in gold text

Zynga dog shirt for TRON: Legacy Zynga company event, 2010! (Thanks to an anonymous source!) Zynga shirts 1/4, keep threadin!
A t-shirt that is a parody of TRON, it features a blue beam of light coming down and where it meets, the Zynga dog who is a blue outline. There is an identity disc with a z on it, and they are standing on a blue disc platform. It says "zynga" in blue, and under that "dog activated"

These don't have a date tag, but based on what I've seen online they are likely from Macworld 2003 or 2004 - the Mac Port of Halo CE came out in 2003.
From Macworld in the early 2000s, the Aspyr booth, a metal frame showing Aspyr's electric jellyfish logo and ASPYR on a black square. On the right is a banner for a Rainbow Six expansion. An image of the Aspyr and mac games section at an early-2000s Macworld, on the right is someone playing the Mac port of Halo Combat Evolved by MacSoft, which came out in 2003. There is an iMac G4 sitting on the booth, the one that is a little dome with an LCD monitor on an arm. An image of the Aspyr booth and Mac gaming area, there are two demos set up with several clear plastic/white plastic Apple cinema displays. On the left is topped by, and showing, the mac port of Star Trek Elite Force II, and on the right is Sim City 4. I have no idea what is going on in the back, but it says IQTVRA, and there are many of what look like matte paintings sitting on easels under it. Several macs and cinema displays set up in a small area, at the top, using comic sans of all things, there is a Macworld banner that reads "Macintosh Gaming Area" and another banner that reads "Special Interest Pavilions."

Not necessarily swag, but some pictures from @gmatom.bsky.social fom Macworld 2002! These had date stamps, so very sure of 2002. Also, cargo pants.
An image from a talk at Macworld 2002 in the Mac games section with a crowd sitting down and watching a speaker who is behind a small table, there is a black temporary wall built that has a banner and a screen on it. On the banner it says: Mac OS X Games - Welcome to the next level. There is a video of a Wheel of Fortune game on the screen, showing the spinner and the letter wall. In the foreground one attendee is wearing a t-shirt whose back reads: roxio - Import it Tweak It Master it Turn it - Toast with Jam. The schedule is visible on the right, it is partially readable, if I am unsure I am putting a (?) Games Theater Schedule Thursday MacSoft G(?) Entertainment (?) by Destineer Aspyr Media A picture of a crowd at Macworld 2002, and a couple Aspyr booths, presumably in the Mac Games section of the floow. The booth on the left has a banner at top showing a game I an umable to read, with a visible Aspyr logo. On the right, a booth for the Mac version of The Sims Hot Date expansion pack, with an Aspyr logo, and an original Apple cinema displkay showing the game. The attendees are all dressed very 2002, notably there are cargo pants. An image from MacWorld 2002, two of the attendees are wearing Destineer shirts. This must be the MacSoft / Microsoft booths, and there are three of them in a row, showing three games: Myst III Exile, being shown on an original Apple cinema display (clear plastic over white plastic, with clear plastic legs), there is a stack of paper in this booth for some reason. Age of Empires II Gold Edition Links Championship Edition A picture showing two people bowling at what must be the Macworld 2002 bowling alley, there are 4 signs in the background visible: - A vertical yellow sign where the only readable bit says "strike gold" - A horizontal red sign that says "THE MAC PRODUCT EXPERTS - Macworld" - A black square sign that has the Aspyr electric jellyfish logo and says ASPYR - A clip art bowling ball surrounded by a teal swoosh on a square white sign, that says Mac Bowl
