Erik Voskuil, who runs the excellent Before Mario, has a very special piece of Nintendo history in his personal collection. And no, itās not badass Lego.

Like the fact Nintendo had not one, but two phone lines. Extravagant! And that the company was still known as āYamauchi Nintendoā, after its founder (it wouldnāt become āNintendoā until the 1950s).
Also of interest is the companyās address, the small Kyoto office that it was founded in all the way back in 1889. Sadly, this building no longer exists, as it was demolished in 2004.
You can see more pics of the calendar, including a fantastic photoshop restoration of its front cover, on Before Mario
