Re: Black Widow question

Thanks guy's! That would explain the apparantly odd placement of the
monitor serial number sticker along the edge of the metal frame for the
tube. I'll have to take a better look at the stickers this weekend when
I pull the game out of temporary storage to see if I can confirm they
were put on with the kit.

As far as the condition of the game, I must say it's near immaculate
with the exception of a fairly small chunk of sideart missing. You can
plainly see the gravitar sideart underneath.
