Bid on Rare Video Game Artifacts to Support Japan Relief Efforts

Posted byJason W. Ellis

Ars Technica alerted me to Play for Japan, a Game Industry Relief Effort. Play for Japan raises funds for charities by allowing winning bidders of their auctions to select a charity that is assisting with the humanitarian relief efforts in Japan. The rare items made available for Play for Japan are amazing–you have to see them for yourself by going here. If you are a fan of video game history and you have the means to help out, please go bid on some items.
