I don't really care about a conviction, but I would like to get this back one day, so if any of you ever see it on ebay, on craigslist or anything like that let me know.
These photos were taken at a date much earlier than the theft, and I had later added additional text in the blank area around the sides.
This shows the top of the nes, which I inscribed with the first 5 laws of the Hammurapi codex.
Here is the front of the system. The large text is the closest I could come to phonetically rendering "Nintendo" in cuneiform. It actually says nintendu as the /o/ sound wasn't present in Sumerian so I had to pick the closest alternative. The controller ports are labeled 1 and 2. I spent the longest time trying to think of an accurate translation of "power" and "reset". Nothing quite fit so I later just wrote the English words in the cuneiform script on the buttons.
