For cartridge-based games, condition refers to the physical appearance of the cartridge shell and label. All listed games are inspected, cleaned, and tested to work properly.

Good

A cartridge in Good condition shows normal signs of use but still presents well overall. The label is fully intact and easy to read, with only light wear such as minor scuffs, small edge wear, or light discoloration.

The cartridge shell may have light scratches or minor cosmetic marks from handling, but it will not have cracks, major chips, heavy staining, or significant label damage.

Fair

A cartridge in Fair condition has more noticeable cosmetic wear but is still functional and collectible/playable. This may include heavier scratches, scuffs, discoloration, worn plastic, writing or sticker residue, label wear, small label tears, fading, or other visible age-related flaws.

The label is still mostly identifiable, but the cartridge will show clear signs of use and age.

Acceptable

A cartridge in Acceptable condition has significant cosmetic wear but still works as intended. This may include heavy scratches, major discoloration, writing, sticker residue, torn or heavily worn labels, peeling labels, missing portions of the label, or other substantial cosmetic flaws.

The cartridge shell is intact enough to safely insert and remove from the console, but it may look heavily used.

Older cartridge games can vary widely in appearance due to age, handling, storage, and label wear, so these condition options help set clear expectations before purchase.
