You know..... you wrote your name in some sort of black sharpie like pen on the back of game cartridges. I never did and I kind of hated those who did.
In particular situations I put sticky tape on the case, controllers and write my name on it so it doesn't get mistaken for someone else. But never on the ACTUAL case.
I just bought a used copy of Tomb Raider: Legend a few weeks ago and the name "Christopher" was written in black sharpie inside the case. Who does that anymore?
I never wrote my name on them, but I did write the names of the game on top of the N64 cartridge. I kept them all in a tupperware box, stacked face-to-face. The only way to tell which game was which was to actually take them out one by one and search for the one you wanted. So i put a piece of masking tape on the tops and wrote the names of the games on them. Problem solved.
Hah, I completely forgot about that. I didn't do it myself, but I do remember an instance where I ended up with a used copy of some SNES game that had my friend's name written on it. I guess we should have just traded.
Yes, because my parents didn't let me take them out of the house otherwise, but I never sold any of the games I cared enough to take with me anywhere, so there isn't some poor guy somewhere with my name written on his cartridge.
Nope. I never lent my games to people so I never had a need to. I remember it used to drive me fucking nuts though when I would rent games, becasue the video store always took a knife and carved their store name in the case.
Nope. Never put my name on games. But I did label memory cards with my name, and a range of letters, as I had alphabetized my save files and placed each file in the memory card labeled with the range the save's game title fell into. If memory cards were still commonly used with modern consoles, I'd probably still do this.
Never on a cartridge, but I did put my initials inside some psx manuals. Always next to the table of contents.. also I have a copy of road rash 3 genesis belonging to a Seifried.
I'll do you one better. One day I decided that the grey cartridges of my N64 games were pretty boring-looking and I thought they would look pretty cool if they were black. So I took a sharpie and colored all of my N64 games black. I have come to realize that was the stupidest thing I could have ever done with my games and every time I see them I just hang my head in shame at what I had done. I never wrote my name on them though. I did, however, write my name on my SNES games along with the prices I wanted to sell them for at the yard sale that I never had (I still have the games). I have had some major failures with games over the years, but lessons have certainly been learned.
I had a sticker on it with my name so that if I ever wanted to resell or something (I never did), I could just peel it off. And if anyone stole it they could do the same.
