Thom Grayson:
The Blockbuster stickers are deeply unfortunate. Is there an easy way to remove them while leaving the original label intact? If not, I'm willing to live with them.

Parasite Eve 2

I am / was torn about whether I should attempt to replace the label.  Since you went out of your way to produce one without any type of request, I am definitely going to upgrade the cart with the replacement.  The game is going to be a keeper anyway, so I am not concerned about the potential value change due to not having the original label.


MUCH appreciated my good sir!

Maybe get a shell from a cheep crap sports game and save the original label. It would probably hurt the value to have a reprint label if you care. I was thinking of doing this for Moonwalker on Genesis.


@Thom Grayson

BE CAREFULL with blockbuster stickers, I'm almost certain they destroy/warp the disk if just peeled off. I think this happened with a old copy of Sonic Heroes when I was younger.

Apparently with the N64 cart, the Blockbuster text just washes off, and then you got a clear sticker.

I agree with both points.  Keep the original Trilogy label and cart in a box somewhere and put your replacement on a donar cart.  At least you can switch back at a later date.

And I hate those Blockbuster stickers.  They were DESIGNED to never come off.  They didn't want people stealing their games.   >:(

Buy a cheap, SNES game with a really clean cart and put the NGT game and new label on that cart and keep the empty original shell with original label intact just in case you wanna sell it down the road and could include the originals!

Don't even try to remove the Blockbuster stickers from the disc.  I know from experience that they are designed to be permanent.  I worked there for 15 years.
