Two NES games. Wrath of the Black Manta. When I picked it up I didn't check it well enough and later discovered the case behind the label was busted. Metal Storm. 60% of the label is faded out. You can still tell what it is and since it was only .99 I'm not complaining about the condition mind you. |

Someone took an xacto knife or something and carved a checkerboard pattern into the front of the label... however, it is because of this that I got the cart in the first place. I was out shopping a game store here in town when I came across it, and it just so happens to be the EXACT cart I used to rent years ago from a video store. It even has the labels from the store on the sides, which I left on. I hadn't seen that cart in well over 10 years and it kinda blew my mind when I found it. --- End quote --- I have been holding out for the day that I come across, if ever, an ex rental copy of any game from an independent rental place I used to go to called Famous Video. They probably went under in about 1999 or so, but I used to rent all my 16-bit games from them, mainly Genesis. Even if it was some sports title I had no interest in, I'd till cherish that game lol. |

It used to be my previous copy of Haunting Ground. Incomplete with flaking off artwork, and obliterated disk with holes through it. Probably didn't/doesn't work. Needless to say, I was not the original owner. All of the games I have owned since new are still in fantastic shape. Not sure how it's so hard for most people to take decent care of this stuff, but it seems to be. ??? --- Quote from: bikingjahuty on October 25, 2014, 10:26:24 am --- --- Quote from: Bwigdahl on October 23, 2014, 12:27:29 pm ---Probably my copy of War of the Gems on SNES.

Pretty much every one that I can remember from back in the day. I'm convinced that everyone rented, rather than bought, any of the good games back in the day. It's no wonder SNES is so rare, it was all rental material afaik. |
