Found this written on the back of an Ice Hockey manual I purchased at an antique mall in Illinois.

 

 

Might be hard to read, says...

Nice!

 

Good Job Ryan!

 

Shoot,  I remember that day back in 9184 like it was yesterday.

I was always annoyed finding cartridges in the wild with some kid's name on it. Now I just think of it as "autographed by original owner".

I was just recently thinking it would be fun to start a “I’ve got your old cart!” thread.  You post pictures of carts with people’s names on them, and we can all see if someone ended up with our or our friend’s carts!

I really love finding old scores written in manuals.  During the last Master System High Score Club, we were playing Shinobi.  My copy of Shinobi had the (most likely) original owner's scores written in the manual. It was fun measuring my progress against his. I eventually surpassed him and beat the game, something I do not think he ever did.
