Most stickers are fairly easy to get off with little to no harm to the label. If you are very careful about it.

It totally depends on what kind of game cartridge you're working with though. If it's a NES cart, luckily the labels are laminated. So as long as there's no spots where the laminate is worn down or gouged. It should be pretty easy to remove a sticker with some rubbing alcohol. For extra sticky glue residue I always use a little bit of vegetable oil. Rub it on and the glue balls up and wipes off. You have to be a bit careful at the edge of the label though. Because where the laminate ends the paper label is exposed. So it's possible to soak up excess alcohol/oil and cause permanent discoloration.

Unfortunately Sega Genesis and most other cart based games don't have laminated labels. So that renders alcohol unusable, as it will destroy the ink on the label. Vegetable oil is okay as long as you stay away from the edge of the label. Use a very, very soft cloth. As anything even a bit rough will start to rub off the ink.

I've had great success with some pretty bad examples of stupid sticker placement.

So anyway, uh end of lecture.

This is why I'm glad I'm not heavily in to cart based systems. Honestly I'll just pay a bit more for the Genny games I'm looking for to avoid this hassle.

I'll check out BG2 then soon - I went to Torment when I finished BG Enhanced, and while I did enjoy it, there was just too much of it. Some day I'll really get into that game and finish it, but I've been telling myself that since it's original launch Pretty sure that's been almost 14 years now.

Yeah you won't be disappointed.

Agreed. I should get around to cleaning my NES games... there are just so many with stickers, and I can't bring myself to sit down and do 'em all.

Blackhawks/Red Wings game is pretty intense right now.

You do realize that linking to Google redirect links don't work, right? The images never display for me.

I do now.
