Picked up World Champ and Dynowarz for NES from a local Goodwill. They came in plastic cases with the original boxes cut to fit in the case; they actually look pretty nice.

Are you doing this if only a game has it on there, or if we remember renting from a certain store back in the day?
And I just got in a GI Joe Real American Hero and cleaned it up that had one of these stickers I cant read it now, saw this thread too late

Snow Bros. added.

I'm just keeping track of games we have in our collections that we can trace to a particular rental store. Thought it might be cool if a cart surfaces that someone remembers renting back in the good 'ol days.

I had a Snake, Rattle & Roll from a nearby (now defunct) rental store called "Movies Plus" in North Tonawanda, New York. It was a small chain that existed during the NES's heyday and I'm assuming theft was enough of a problem that they actually branded "MP+" with a heated stamp into the backs of their carts to identify them.

I sold it off, though, since I didn't like there being unremovable letters on my cartridge.

I also have a Krusty's Fun House with what I believe are rental markings. I'll check closer next time I open the bookcase.

I found 2 so far in my collection:

Race America has "Video Works 221-6263" written in marker on the back. No state or area code though.

Star Trek Next Generation has a sticker with "The World of Video, 3500 Central St, Hot Springs AR, 624-5603" on the back.

I'll what else I can find later on.

I know it's a HUGE longshot...but if anyone finds games from the following places, I'll pay a good price for them:

Jack Green's Video (Charleroi, PA)
Top 40 Video (Monessen, PA)
Dee's Record and Video (Charleroi, PA)

Hell, pretty much anywhere in the Pittsburgh area.
