Sweet! You've been looking for that forever, it seems. Where'd you finally get one?

I needed a NES Zapper, so I bought a lot of eBay that had a Zapper, Rescue the Embassy, and four random games (Chessmaster, Dick Tracy, Tecmo Baseball, Jack Nicklaus Golf) that I didn't really want for $12. The guy also threw in a bunch of NES literature including an Ultra games flyer, manuals for Kung Fu, Duck Hunt, and Kid Icarus, a Nintendo Controller Deck manual, and some subscription cards.
There was also a Nintendo: Now You're Playing With Power mini-poster that appears to have all the Nintendo-produced North American launch titles on it. I presume it came packaged with the early Controller Decks.

Tried my damn well hardest to try and find one of those for you, now what was the reason for the "Must Have"? Other than the obvious Zelda Map and trick to kill the Odd level end bosses in Blaster Master.

It's an important visual aid that helps to showcase the prominence of Blaster Master in the days of old. Not to mention I have visual childhood memories of opening game after game and getting those damn Nintendo Power cards.
I also got this in the stack of crap the guy sent me:

"Mario says, JOIN TODAY! (or die)"
You should send it in to Nintendo and see what they do. If they don't get a chuckle maybe they will give you something.

I'm definitely thinking about it. If I do, I'm gonna laminate it first so it doesn't get destroyed in transit.

Hopefully you have more luck than I did with Natsume.

I doubt it. I'll probably get a polite form letter.

I'd do it.
I used to subscribe to Nintendo Power, I don't know if I still have my old issues or not. Still, I'd send that stuff to them  The old version and all.

Syd...
I have a ton of Nintendo Powers and all of the ads and stuff.
If you have something specific you want scanned, let me know.
The first issue I have is 007
It was the Megaman issue.
I don't recall what the last issue I got was, but it was before the N64 I think. I'll check tomorrow.
