I had to drive for miles and miles looking for garage sales but in the end I rescued these two games for $3 each. Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards - N64 Gradius III (3) - SNES

So this wonderful game used to have a Property of Blockbuster security sticker over part of both the front and back label. It blows me away that they put these on all of their games and then later on they legally sold them with out any way of removing these stickers that make you look like you forever stole them. Anyways, so I used a blow drier to try to remove the security sticker and it was working pretty good for awhile, but of course N64 labels at the cheapest labels ever produced so all at once the whole front label ripped off and once I completely destroyed the front label I stopped caring about the back.

So I had no front or back label so I thought it was about time I tried to make my own repo labels. I used 4x6 photo paper and because my HP printer ink bleeds with any water at all I used Rust-Oleum's "Crystal Clear Enamel" to water proof it / protect it and give it a gloss. The spray doesn't go on perfectly smooth so it ends up looking a bit like a mate finish. The back label in the picture above doesn't look as bad as it does above in real life.

There are better ways to make replacement labels but normally pretty broke and this is what I had. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out over all.

I got these three wonderful games at a Garage Sale for $2 each. Always ask if they have any old games. Always try to talk them down in price. I can't wait to play these games on original hardware. Mario Kart Super Circuit. Metroid Fusion. The Legend of Zelda A Link To The Past Four Swords
