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
WOW I probably rented that Wall Street Kid copy! I grew up in Harrison and remember renting NES games from Vision Video all the time!

have another one for yellow canopy video in pierre sd, Isolated Warrior
also have a thunder & lightning that says
LATEST & GREATEST VIDEO #16
on a barcode sticker on the back. I'm guessing that's the name of the rental place but don't know for sure and don't have an address. I would like it noted though in case someone can identify the store. I found this but can't confirm it's the right place http://www.yelp.com/biz/latest-and-greatest-video-spring
i had a kid icarus from a place called allstar video in long island. not exactly related but i also own a copy of ninja gaiden i randomly bought at a flea market with a friend from high schools older brother's name and phone number circa 1990 ( i asked him about it ) written on the back in sharpie.
Got a Fisher-Price Firehouse Rescue with a rental label on the back that says Grocer's Video, Buyrite Supersaver #7, 110 E. Wilson, Springhill, KS 66083
City: New Lenox/Joliet/Peotone (The sticker lists 3 different cities in Illinois)
Store: Good Times Video
Game: Super Bowling (N64)
State/Province: unknown
City: unknown
Store: Blockbuster
Game: Transformers Beast Wars Transmetals
I don't know where Transformers is from, but the game has the store number on the back. If anyone knows where Blockbuster store # 36821 please let me know. It might be in New York state as that's where the seller was from.
I actually bought this cart because of the sticker - my dad used to work here and I remember fondly visiting the video section. Never rented this, or any NES games from here though.
