Hey Andy! I'd need it rush shipped to be in CA by Tuesday at the latest, so we might be past our window, but I appreciate you offering

Hey! Did you get an NES Classic mini console but you don't care about the manual/poster it came with? Put it to use supporting @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social! I'm seeking these out for fundraiser autograph opportunities, but need them ASAP. Let me know! Can pay!

I was about to congratulate the world on there finally being a big post about Bubsy without anyone lazily replying "what could possibly go wrong," but someone put it in a quote. One of these days...

Bubsy 4D Demo is available on Steam buff.ly/LgE9SSX

Oh rad! You can also drop it to us in Emeryville if you'd like?

Thanks! You'll have to pay for fast shipping to CA at this point but I can reimburse!

Oh yeah I now think it was just the U.S. version, didn't know that when I posted!

Ooh that's the REALLY good one, it's actually larger than the one I showed. The system came with that, and the one I'm looking for came with games (including the two games that came with the system, so you actually got three posters). Standalone ROB might have too, I'm not sure.

Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 1d

appreciate it but no! I'm specifically getting signatures from people who launched the NES

Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 1d

DM me to arrange once you're done!

Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 1d

Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 1d

I would! just the poster though! can you DM me to arrange?

Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 1d

How about I scan the NES for you? I'm doing an archival flattening as part of the process so the scan should come out really nice

Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 1d

I didn't know about it until this morning or I'd have hoarded a handful already!

Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 1d

My bad, try again?

Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 1d

Yay! DM me!

"Didn't you solicit different NES posters earlier today?" I did! But I could use these too!

Collectors! Store owners! Hoarders! Help us out! @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is looking to source copies of this 1985 NES pack-in poster for fundraising reasons, and we need them asap. We already cleaned out eBay. Note that they need to be the ones that say copyright 1985, as pictured! Can pay!

ah, thanks for thinking of us though! I think the odds are low that Kid Icarus would have one so please don't go looking on our behalf

Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 1d

appreciate you replying anyway!

I believe these only came in the "black box" first party games! bsky.app/profile/blac...

Andrew Craig @blackngreen.bsky.social · 1d

Do you know what games this would have been included in? I won’t open my CIB Zelda’s but I do have an Adventures in the Magic Kingdom I would raid for you guys if it might have been included there.
