Think about the worn and torn labels as a testament on how much the games have been played. Games that are played to the brink of falling apart damn well better be nothing short of phenomenal.

If, as you say, you are mostly a gamer, a funky looking cart almost falling apart pretty much equals that old TMNT VHS tape you used to watch over and over again as a child until it started skipping and flickering. It's barely watchable but you know it's quality entertainment.

Yes, I'm a nostalgic old fart.

Out of curiousity, what are the games in question, since you see no way of ever getting them in better shape?
