i have a couple from local stores around here.

R.C. Pro-Am II
Premiere Video, 4611 12th St, Sioux Falls SD 57103, 605-333-4886

Bubble Bobble part 2
Premiere Video, 2300 W 41st St, Sioux Falls SD 57105, 605-332-3791

Lemmings
Movie City, 2412 W 41st St, Sioux Falls SD, 334-8966

I've been here 4 years and I'm pretty sure these were all closed before I arrived. The first address I'm having a hard time mapping. Next time I drive out that way I'll pay attention. I get the impression it existed as another rental place at some point and is currently a closed up Movie Gallery. The last two are a liquor store and exercise equipment retailer respectively.

Shame I like a clean cart, good many of mine had been rentals but I'm good at purifying the damage outside, and in (the long sticker with the metal strip in it crap.)

Here at my shop right now, I have these.

Best Reception, Pomeroy OH -- 3D Worldrunner
Noble Video, Caldwell OH -- Ski or Die

We usually peel them off and hit them with Goo Gone since we like our games to be clean. The ones above have the sticker on the label, so we didn't want to mess with them. Yesterday I peeled off:

Major Video (no city)-- Golf. This one also had Blockbuster stickers on it.

(forget store) Chattanooga, TN -- Bill Elliot's NASCAR Challenge

I'll have to go through my games at home when I get there. I don't take off rental labels on my personal games unless they're the generic Hollywood Video corporate ones.

Man, I bet the other stuff in that store was like, wooden cutouts of geese with hats on, bowls of potpourri, key racks with hearts cut in them and restored butter churns.

I've got a Hollywood squares cart/manual from :

Video One #3
Broadridge Plaza
6905 S Broadway, #61
Littleton, CO 80122

The cart has a Beeshu ScoreKeeper sticker on the back which lists a player score and date column for some kids to keep their score. Kinda nice little feature! Only two filled out, by the same player named L & T Gold

This is a really interesting thread. I've always liked games that have mysterious stickers on them as long as they weren't covering up the artwork. I think they give my games an interesting history. Having said that though, I really don't have as many as I thought. I guess you're just asking for NES right now, because I'm sure I've got more sticker on newer systems. I'll start with the ones from my home town.

Mountain Home Arkansas

Harps' Super Store - 924 E. HWY 62 (This is still a grocery store, but they no longer have a video section. This was the first place I ever rented games from, and my dad was one of the first members. I remember renting Dreamcast games there so they must've had the video store from about 89 to the early 2000s)
Games: Rad Racer, Pinball, Faxanadu, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Video Library (Never went to this store much)
Bionic Commando

Harrison Arkansas

Vision Video (There were at least three locations for this place. The one in MH was my favorite place to rent games. They had an amazing section of NES games including Action 52 and Maxi-15. I wish I coulda been there when they closed down and sold all their games.)
Wall Street Kid

Salem, AR

Video to Go - John Elway's Quarterback

Unknown

Randalls - King's Knight
Game Time Inc. - Adventures of Tom Saywer (I have no idea if this is an old store or some game selling place, but it does have a phone number and no website so it's probably a little bit older.)

Our copy of The Krion Conquest has a sticker on the back that says Movietime Video and on the front says Alfalfa/Movietime Movies. I have no idea where it's from or what it means. It also says be kind rewind on it.

Monroe, MI

Meijer Video Center - 1700 Telegraph Rd.

Dragon Fighter, Metroid, RoadBlasters
