I just bought a used copy of Out of this World for Genesis on amazon because it was really cheap and it was one with a case and manual. To my delight I found that the manual actually had writing in the 'notes' section of the tattered manual. Since the game is on a password system, there were a bunch of codes for specific parts of the game listed. The best part is that there are a stretch of codes in the middle that have descriptions like 'in a cave', 'deeper in the cave', and 'more caves'.
I also bought WWF No Mercy used at a gaming store and there were a bunch of hilarious custom characters made.
Did anyone else find cool stuff related to their used gaming purchases?
edit: we can broaden this to borrowing games and renting them too!
Cool stuff you've found with used games.
I once bought a copy of Sonic 3 with all the save slots used with the game beaten and the emeralds collected on each save. Needless to say I would have loved to talk to the original owner.
Don't know if this counts but I bought a used memory card for the gamecube so I could play games on my wii (very long time ago) and there were a bunch of good saves on it including 100% completion in super smash bros melee which was all those trophies and such. I also found a used gameboy in the food court one time when I was a kid and took it. But other than that the coolest thing is that their cheaper.
Wow, this is cool. I never really considered used games could have so many awesome memories attached to them. I do remember once renting a wrestling game to find all the main wrestler's had been altered to look totally ridiculous. I wasn't amused.

Back in the day before Gamestop bought them out there was a game store called "Software Etc." where I bought a copy of what I thought would be Zelda: Link to the Past for the SNES.
It turned out to be Eye of the Beholder swapped inside the cartridge case. This was a LONG ASS TIME AGO and some asshole was already pulling this kind of shit. Incredulous! The sticker looked flawless, too! I felt so gypped but good thing they refunded me.
