Direct quote from Vid regarding this exact scenario.
Quoted from vid1900:Take a sharp, brand new straight-pin.
Don't even make a **hole**, just with the tip of the pin, let the air out.
About 5% of the time, the Mylar will still have enough stickiness to re-adhere when warmed with a hair dryer, but don't count on it (especially on a game that old).

NEVER inject superglue or poly under the Mylar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

Quoted from snyper2099:So glad you posted those pics. If you attempt this, EXPECT all ARTOWRK TO BE DESTROYED. You may be able to avoid it, but you should never assume you can get ANY mylar off at all without also taking the art right along with it. Hopefully that alone helps the OP make a MUCH more informed decision.
I think the OP understood your point of view after your first onslaught, "JUST LEAVE THE FUCKING MYLAR ON THE GAME AND PLAY IT. GOD.". At this point just let the OP make their own decision without acting like their an idiot for inquiring about the different possibilities.
Thanks

As I stated in post #9.
Vid on topic of mylar bubbles:
