The Ex-Rentals Thread

  • 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 have a Boxed Final Fantasy III (No Map or Poster) that is from M & M Video in Marion Ohio.
  • Legend of Zelda - Video Den 11 Jackson Rd. Medford, NJ
  • I got 9 NES games in the mail today and 3 of them are ex rentals.

    There are more in my collection but those are what I have in my hands at the moment.

  • 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.

    also for the list, i just recently had a bubble bobble cart from Game Dude, North Hollywood CA. interesting to find locally in south dakota.
  • linktothepastgaming, I live close to both Charleroi and Monessen   I will keep a lookout
  • Awesome...I'm actually gonna call some of those guys that owned the stores and see if I can get any leads.
  • Sad thing was, I never rented from any of those places. : (
  • This is a big longshot, but if anyone ever comes across a rental sticker on a NES cart from Famous Video on University Blvd in Littleton, CO, drop me a PM.

  • Cool World - Take Five Video. Columbus, OH
  • Big update.



    Wow - so Redivivus (in Utah) and TechnicalFoul (in Ontario) both have games from the same store - Video Magic in Moulton, AL.
  • And Lincoln (in SD) has a cart from the same Game Dude store as Redivivus (UT).
  • Is this for NES games only, or do you also accept Genny or SNES?

    How strange.. Did I mention I love this idea?!  Keep the submissions coming in! 2:39 am bump lol
  • Damn, I just cleaned some great cartridges of their rental info this past week! Wish I would've saved the info. I'll take a look at some of my other cartridges and see what I can come up with.
  • I'm just doing NES for this list - I shudder to think of what one that includes all systems would look like!
  • I got 2 games that were Ex-Rentals



    Spy vs Spy and Guardian Legend, tough i lose the guardian legend ticket that belonged to a rental store, sad, because it was from a pretty old rental store, it wasnt a platinuim silver sticker, no, it was just a round paper sticker, when i trow it, it was all yellow now, so yeah, pretty old.



    oh and the cart when i stored The Flinstones Games did have a label, but the cart was in poor condition.
  • I located some more in mine. Hook, Rollerball, and Iron Sword with "Video Library" stickers on them, and a copy of Gun-Nac I just acquired from a friend that has a barcode sticker for "Alfalfa/Movie Time" on it which I assume was in Wichita Falls.
