Original 1981 Nintendo Donkey Kong Flyer – Rare Vintage Nintendo Collectible

Offered for sale is an authentic original Donkey Kong flyer from 1981, one of the most iconic pieces of arcade and video game advertising from the golden age of gaming.

This is a genuine period piece produced during the original Donkey Kong era that helped introduce Mario to the world and establish Nintendo as a major force in the video game industry.

At approximately 45 years old, surviving examples have become increasingly difficult to find, making this an outstanding opportunity for collectors of Nintendo, arcade, video game, and pop culture memorabilia.

CONDITION

✅ Untrimmed original magazine size
✅ Completely flat (no folds)
✅ Bright colors
✅ Light handling wear
✅ A few minor dings top left & right corners
✅ Slight roughness along the left edge from being publisher-bound (which is expected)
❌ No major defects

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTE

This flyer originated as a publisher-bound insert in a trade publication rather than as a separately distributed loose flyer.

Unlike a standard magazine advertisement page, this piece was produced as a separate two-sided flyer and features the same artwork, printing, paper stock, and reverse-side content found on the stand-alone Donkey Kong flyers distributed to arcade operators and vendors during the early 1980s.

The primary difference is that this example was originally bound into a trade publication as described. As a result, collectors have the opportunity to own an authentic period Donkey Kong flyer at a significantly lower cost than a comparable free-standing example. This example was professionally removed using methods intended to preserve the flyer with the least amount of damage possible.
