Video game history and the British Royal Mail don’t seem like the kinds of things that would go together, but that’s just what has happened with the announcement of a new stamp collection that celebrates video game series and characters designed in Great Britain.
A total of twelve stamps are being released on January 21st, with four stamps marking the Tomb Raider series and eight that celebrate classic games from the ’80s and ’90s like Wipeout, Lemmings, Populous, Worms, and the most adjacent to our little part of the gaming world, the original Elite in all of its wire frame graphical glory.
Gamers interested in getting their hands on these little pieces of gaming history can pre-order them now in a variety of different collectible ways. We’re curious if people will read too deeply into the fact that Elite is a second class stamp while Lemmings and Sensible Soccer are first class.
