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! :D
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++?

Well, mine turned into Battle of Olympus

Great find.
Only contact i had with NEC back then was calling them to get info on the TG-CD since i didn't found any in the store around my place. My english back then was soooooooo bad. Not sure she understood me at all :)
-
I remember calling their tip line to get the code to play Bomberman on the 3-in-1 CD. Later the number for the tip line became the number for some telephone company, and I would frequently bother them to ask for codes for games which they'd never heard of.

It was sealed, complete and I would estimate that it was a Turbo Star Rating of at least 9000

Heh, that's great and thanks for sharing. I'd say we should all be packrats and keep similar current stuff just in case we're hanging around PS3/360/Wii forums in twenty years, but nah. :mrgreen:
