What do you do when you've played all your games to death? Trade them in for more? Keep them and build a library? swap them with your mates?
There is another way. You can destroy them. Completely wreck your games in a novelty fasion. A silly idea you amy think, and you'd be right. But here are some suggestions anyway.
1. The bludgen. requirements - Hammer.
This technique is best when the cartridge is flat on a hard surface. One single blow should suffice in making the game unplayable, a few more will completely annhialate it.
Carnage Rating - 95%
2. The Mafia body-hide. requirements - a nearby river.
Electrical systems are very bad with water, though unless your cart has a battery backup, you can allways dry out the cartridge and use again. CDs will not be harmed at all, unless they are attacked by fish.
Carnage Rating - 11%
3. The David Copperfield. - Requirements - Tower shelf unit, chainsaw.
Stack your games onto the shelf, preferably a tall standing unit that is wide enough to hold a game flat. From the top, run the chainsaw straight down through the middle of the games downwards at high revs, slicing the contents in half. One attempt should suffice, though goggles are recommended.
Carnage Rating - 98%
4. Flamin 'ell!. - Requirements - Lighter fluid, matches.
Douse your games in the lighter fluid, stand well back and flick matches in the way you did at school towards the games. Beware of the fules from the melting plastic.
Carnage Rating - 73% (lost points on the environmental issues)
5. Child abuse. - Requirements - a baby.
Toddlers have a habit of banging things on tables and shoving them in their mouths. Carts are pretty tough items, so will probably withstand this abuse. Expect a cd based game to incur stratches.
Carnage Rating: 19%
6. The car park crusher. - Requirements - a car, a small stone.
Running a car over a game will not do much damage due to the soft tyres. By placing a stone under the centre of the game should be enough to cause the game to snap in half under the weight of the vehicle.
Carnage Rating: 25 to 76% depending on vehicle used.
7. You lookin' at me?. - Requirements - a gun.
place game sagely in the grip of a tabletop vice, and aim the gun directly at the centre of the cart. (slightly off-centre for a cd). Pull the trigger. Again, wear goggles.
Carnage Rating: 89%
8. The grind. - Requirements - a skateboard.
Sellotape a cd to the underside of your deck, then grind a handrail. This should invole major scratching, depending on the rails surface quality.
Carnage rating: 31% more likely to hurt yourself.
9. The lassoo. - Requirements - a length of string.
Attatch your game to the eng of the string, and swing above your head Olympic hammer style. Release the projectile into a nearby wall. Might require more than one attempt, but wil get there in the end.
Carnage Rating: 66%
10. Toasted! - Requirements - a toaster.
Insert your game into a toaster and turn it on to burn. Warning: Fire hazard.
Carnage Rating: 82% lost marks of potential burning down of house.
11. Anyone for golf? - Requirements - a golf club, a tee.
Place your game on the tee, and strike with the club. Remember to shout "Fore!"
Carnage Rating: 70 to 90% depending on your golfing prowess.
12. Destruction derby. - Requirements - an old ford cortina.
Attatch the game to the front of your cortina, and go banger racing. Be sure to attatch the game securely, to maximise damage.
Carnage rating, 81%
An incentive to us all. Feel free to try any of these, or adapt them to your situation with whatever tools you have available. The game companies will not mind, a game destroyed is still a game sold.

And I've no doubt that you'll win another game to sadistically crush.
Nice post.
(By the way, if you want a guide to destroying pads, simply beat my younger brother at Goldeneye. A garaunteed smash every time!)

When I used to get thoose rubbish free CD's with magazines and through the post I used to do some of these.
1. Frisbee, CD's fly far and fast but can be lethal in the wrong hands. Can slice a melon in half with the right power and accuracy.
2. Bleach used to work quite well as it makes them bubble up and melt.
3. Keep them and create a large wall display in the shape of animals or even make a mirror with them.
4. Give them to people who may find a better use for them. Hospitals, orphanages, anywhere were people are happy to welcome gifs that could help those in need.
