ebay item has a couple carts with homegrown labels? Are these one off games, proto's, or just somebody slapping stickers on carts? I can't find anything on them.

Happy Halloween?? Game??

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 110818883899

Here's what the seller said about the Happy Halloween cart:

Quote

It is how I got them but looking at it closely now I cannot tell if it is a sticker or if the label has been cut into a circle shape. It has as logo style on the lower right that appears to say MELLO SMELLO in a mountain like style printed on the label if that is of any help.

I am reasonably sure these are just gray box era games with the labels torn off. So it's a grab bag of games... some nice newer games in there though. Probably noithing ultra rare...

Just normal games that some kid played with and tore off the labels.
Label residue clearly visable bellow the stickers.

That's what I think, so it will be interesting to find out what games they "were".

what caught my attention was the "I'm a video game nut" sticker. Someone made that specifically to slap on the cart (it appears). Not as random as "Happy Halloween". ;)

Yeah, I'm gambling that the "Happy Halloween" labeled cart is something I don't have, say like karateka :)
Otherwise, I'll put them up separately to sell...

Damn, you won :)

I peeled off the sticker on the cart that had the Happy Halloween on it and it said Bug Hunt, plugged it in and yep it was...
The "I'm a video game nut" is Lode Runner and the brown case without the label is Donkey kong Jr...

I'll keep the Star Raiders II cart, but will end up selling the rest...
