This reminds me, I have one which might interest people.
When the SNES Mini came out, they did a one-off SuperPlay magazine, where they reprinted all their reviews of the games that were on the machine, along with writing a new one for Starfox 2. I went out to get it, actually picking up two as a friend from work really wanted one. We were looking through them that lunchtime, and he noticed that in the back, they were having a giveaway - old-school, you had to send in a postcard. He didn't think it was worth the bother but I decided I'd give it a try; got a postcard from the corner-shop across the road and sent it straight off.
And that's how I won this:
It's a Wil Overton original, painted on acetate, and was the art used on this cover:
It was sitting in a box until during the pandemic, when I finally found time to frame a load of pictures I'd picked up in various places.
Given how you had to enter the competition, I've wondered in the past if I was the only entrant.
