Hey everybody.
I meant to write this topic a while ago, but it kept on slipping my mind.
When I was a kid (like most of you) I was playing video games on the NES. Eventually, I got out of video games, and my mom dumped all of my games at some place (I actually asked her where she brought them yesterday and she said "Cash Converters.")
However, I was every collectors worst enemy, because I would write my name on the cart in marker, coxing it for life.
A few months ago I went into a local pawn shop. And saw a copy of "Bart vs. the Space Mutants" for the NES. I allready have this game (since I it was one of the games I had to buy when I started collecting because I played it as a kid) but for some reason, I decided to look at it. (The games were aligned to you could see the top label)
I pulled it out, and I couldn't beleive it: "Bowins" written beside the label. Now, I know for sure that I always wrote my last name where this one was written. Also, there are very little Bowins' in Canada, let along Ottawa (My familly is the only one.)
I wonder how many times it changed hands, and how it ended up there.
Obviously, I bought it cause I thought that it should be brought home for good.
Just wondering, has anybody else found something of there own? I guess it would be hard to tell unless you wrote on your games before. But, even still, do you think its possible that any of the games you own now used to be yours as a child?
