I dont like to click on links to sites I dont know. Whats going on there?
Worst idea ever would be for Philips to relaunch the CD-I and have Bubsy 3D as their lunch title.
I think that this is a GREAT idea. The more this knucklehead and folks like them destroy old games and systems, the more our collections go up in value!
WOOHOO!
p.s. Idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(not the poster here... but the idiot(s) gutting innocent unsuspecting Gameboys and NES/SNES carts.
Just like the GOD DAMNED ( I do hope God Damns these people too) dim-bulbs that turn GREAT vinyl (not Barbara S's...i fucking hate her too) into fruit bowls... (I HATE These bastards).

Game on!
I would guess that he's probably stripping down Mario / Duckhunt carts and slapping on a reproduction label, it's not like this dude has an abundance of copies of these games that are in demand at his disposal to wreck them. He can destroy all the copies of X-Men for NES he wants though, he's doing the world a favor.
The better classic games look like he photoshopped the images. I bet he went around to stores and got sports titles and other crappy cheap games, then prints out the stickers for those better games onto them. With the gold cart Zelda games though I hope he didnt gut them, but I guess some people really really hate Zelda 2.
He could have bought defective games that weren't working anymore, someone bought some cheap NES games off me to use as hard drive cases. I didn't have any defective games at the time so he got cheap commons, but he was asking for defective games. It's why I don't throw out broken games even if they can't be repaired, somebody might be able to use them.
Probably could have just bought a few empty cartridges from any of the sites that mold them, then print out the game label. More steps and would raise the price of the trinket, but would have still saved a game from being destroyed.
I will not shed a tear for X-Men for NES.
Not a one.
"And the book says: 'We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us.'"
Guys, I think he uses real cartridges.
"This is a discounted item. There are some cosmetic flaws in the cartridge, so it has been discounted $10. An example of cosmetic flaws would be some minor damage to the label, non-removable writing, or discoloration in the cartridge."
I'm surprised you've never heard of Etsy. It's like THE site for people selling game-related crafts (and crafts not related to games too).
Anyway, destruction of carts aside, it's just a dumb idea and looks dumb too. If you guys want to see some genuinely cool game-related crafts, ones that actually showcase real creativity and talent, check out http://www.spritestitch.com
He's destroying common NES games to make crap? Whatever, there is more than enough copies of all of those games floating around that I couldn't care less. Let's be realistic guys if tomorrow he melted 10000 copies of Legend of Zelda and turned it into a big plastic ball the price of Zelda wouldn't move. They printed a LOT of these things. Now if he starts killing Cheetamen 2 carts he might have a shot at effecting market value. Which I'm sure isn't his goal but these aren't "treasured collectibles" to most people, let's be honest.
Why don't folks complain when people make repro carts out of common carts?
Bit of a double standard there, eh?
This is a horrible idea, not only because it takes perfectly good retro gaming (for the most part) and ruins it. Also, the idea of a USB drive is to be portable. These things make horrible USB drives.
I have to agree with this. They belong in some dark pit along with ET. And honestly, I think ET was the better game.
