[QUOTE="JK_, post: 9697417, member: 371350"] I went on a huge retro binge a few years ago, including importing some carts directly from Japan. I can't remember them all, but a few do stick out to me: 1. The Pokemon Green cart I bought still had a save with the original factory battery, which surprised me. The whole first box was filled with nothing but Rattatas and Pidgeys so I assume the original owner traded everything to another game and sold it. 2. The Pokemon Gold cart I got still had a save with a complete team at the Elite 4 I believe? I dumped the save to send to someone a while ago. Not sure if I'd be able to find it now. The person that replaced the battery didn't do a very good job though and it just disappeared by the time I got around to playing it. 3. My Japanese Crystal cart I was gonna chip swap for that sweet design on the back had a save, but after turning it on once, it was gone. I was going to dump it to see what it had in it. 3. Whoever had my FF5 before me 100% completed the game. Something I don't have patience or time for anymore. 4. The FFII(USA) cart I got had a very interesting save on it. Someone used a game genie on FF2 USA (WHY?) and also gave the characters some very [I]interesting [/I]names. I actually have a screenshot of it from when I first popped it in the retron thing I had at the time. I'm not sure posting it here is the best idea, but I will if people actually want to see it. 5. My FF Mystic Quest cart had a save with what I assume is the ex-owners name and Phoebe was just named "Wife". Still not sure what to make of that one. I always take a look at what's on them when I get them, but for the most part it's nothing too interesting to me at least, so I just swap the battery for a holder since I have received a few games with leaking, corroded batteries.
