Ridenmy65 Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 I was out looking for new carts this weekend. found a few, nothing real exciting. Anyway, one of the carts I found was "deadly duck" by 20th century. On the front label of the cart, the 2nd hand store that the game was at had put this big sticker on the front that totally covered the whole front of the game. When I went to pull the sticker off practically the whole label went with it. Does that piss anyone else off? Just wondering if anyone else has had a nice find that has been kind of ruined by something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubersaurus Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 That happened to me when I bouht Metal Gear, with a large ninja turtle sticker over the whole label. Over the course of a half hour I slowly was able to pick it off with a minimum of damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 Another thing I always hated was when the kid who owned the game before me would write his name in huge black letters on the lable. "Come Er kid"..... *smack* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 LOL i got 1 game that has the name JOES GAME in big black marker on the label but i forget the name of the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 heh, I have to live with the fact that my only copy of Track N Field I have ever found has the previous owner's last name "Seaman" written in Sharpie on the bottom of the label. So yeah... I hate that...makes me want to hurt that person pretty badly for screwing up such a semi rare game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 Considering most of my atari games were previously owned by me, they are in pretty good shape ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 I still say my biggest pet peeve about Atari games is when stupid kids tear labels off (or at least try to). There's absolutely no reason for it whatsoever, except to satisfy the destructive impulses that stupid kids have. At least with a sticker on the label, I still know that the label underneath is (probably) intact, and there's a (slim) chance that I can get the sticker off... and any damage I do is my own fault, and not some stupid kid's fault. Marker doesn't bother me much either... unless it's something stupid like scribbling right over Mario's face. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Atari Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 The local thrift store pts stickers right on the front label. You can peel them off without too much damage, but it leaves sticker residue. Morons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
