Has anyone picked Slater's latest (1987-1988)? I'm just curious, because I really don't get that? I find them atrocious. If I don't get it, please enlighten me.

I bought a red Metroid (run of only 25) and blue Mega Man. At first glance, these pieces are easy to dismiss, and an even closer inspection reveals that the design is composed of unoriginal graphics/imagery...but they are so damn cool and fun. These games (including Zelda) make me feel like I am 7 again, and for that emotion Mr. Slater gets my $$$.
And CJ nails it here:
Too bad I missed it because like Zelda, those were also games I grew up playing. I see the megaman print and I instantly see myself sitting in front of the TV with my NES playing while my younger brother watches and waiting for a turn to play. Being the older brother, he waited a while

So, I think if you grew up in the NES age of innocence, especially with these games, then these prints are the shit for so many reasons.
Downstairs I have an older TV with an old school Nintendo/Super NES/Nintendo 64/GameCube all in a row beneath it. My friends will come over and we will party like its 1989...pizza party and sweat pants style (until the wives tell us to shut up and come upstairs). Anyway, I am going to have these 'stained glass windows of NES heaven' above The Altar.
It will go in this order, only left to right...cathedral style:
