    Default Defaced NES games

    Now I've come across a number of games that have their previous owner's name written on them with permanent marker. But look at this:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...114765108&rd=1

    Does this seller really believe anyone will pay $15 for a loose copy of Jack Nicklaus' Golf that some moron with a silver ink marker laid his hands on? Or maybe he believes these inscriptions are by some famous painter and make it a unique masterpiece

    What's more funny is how much the seller has the starting price as, let alone the buy it now. Even in mint condition they'd have trouble selling it for that.

    Dear lord, that is just pathetic. Just pathetic. Only thing more ugly I've ever seen was a guerilla war cart at a game store. OMG, damned if I was going to pay for that trash! Black marker colored EVERYWHERE on the cart and huge rental tape stickers all over it. Bleh.

    Man some kid had fun with that cart. The funniest thing is that the seller took a zoomed in picture of the word "golf".

    I seriously wonder what would convice someone to take a marker and ruin their games like that. Maybe it was a kid who was all like "OMG TEH CLORING BOOK BROKED MUST COLOR NES GAMEZ NOWZ OMG" Or something.

    I once saw an Ice Hockey cart for the NES in a store that had,

    Please do not clean

    written on it in pencil.

    What are you guys talking about? That game is in near mint condition and it is rare! I can't wait to get my hands on it! I'm going to bid right now, thanks for pointing it out to me.
