Cool old letter I found

[jelloslug]

I was going through some old stuff and I found this old letter from NEC from when I sent some rebate in for a free game long, long ago.



I'll scan it later for a more clear copy.

2 days before my 5th birthday... Did you use the coupons?

It's a shame someone cut out a piece of that old letter.  It'd probably be worth more if it was completely intact!

Seriously though, I wonder if I have any old letters laying around.  I think I still have one or 2 from Nintendo.  I may have one that I got where I was allowed to send in Champions Forever in exchange for another game(chose Monster Lair, I forget what others were on the list) due to them not mentioning on the retail box that it required the Turbo Booster for better audio quality, or something like that.

I had letters from Broderbund and Sunsoft rejecting my NES game ideas sometime around 1989. Guess they didn't want to hear from a 13 year old. Wish I kept them.

Dang that letter is epic !!! It must have felt so cool to receive a letter telling you that you got a free TurboChip game from Nec Technologies inc !!!

Yep.  I got a number of the rebate checks for various items too.  I also have a very generic letter that was included with the replacement TurboTap that I sent in for a warranty claim.

I sent one to Konami once. 

I'm convinced they stole it and made Castlevania games out of the ideas.

Nice find. A reminder of life before teh interwebz and polygons.

Was it card-only or was it boxed mint/complete/new/sealed/VGA rated A++?
