Chrono Trigger - Looks like I went back in time

[Arquillius]

I have to say, out of my whole process, getting the old stickers and gunk cleaned off the cartridge was the hardest. I found the thing in a bin at my local game shop and it had written on a sticker and in black permanent marker on the front "Chrono Trigger" and I turned around and bought it for 38 bucks, and was told I had a week. So after getting it home, i let it sit for a day or two before plugging it into my snes. Thankfully it worked perfectly, but now I had in my hands one of the crappiest conditions of a cartridge that I had ever seen. Label gunk both dry and sticky was all over it. There were still some stickers on it, and I had no idea what to do. I quickly decided I wanted to restore it, and stumbled across this website.

The link below is to my imgchili album to show how I cleaned it up. Next up, my work recreating the instruction booklet

Good job

Looking good! Is that the original box or did you make that as well? What "paper" did you use for the sticker? Looking forward to see the instruction booklet!

The box is a reprint from the site. I used normal paper for the sticker, but used a machine that turns paper into stickers to make it stick right. The booklet is gonna take some time because I'm trying to get a small clock rendered in 3d that looks right to put in the background of most of the pages.
