I don't normally buy used games. Last of Us on PS3 is the only one I ever gotten in recent memory, and even then... even though it looks new, it still bugs me a bit.
I do, however buy used games for my older consoles. I have 4 sega genesis titles coming in the mail. But, because I buy most of my stuff new, I don't have any horror stories.
The cartridge shell on some of my genesis games are questionable. But, they all work, and I could always buy another one. There's no reason for World of Illusion to have an "Acclaim" logo on the back of the cart, with a re-printed label.
