"EXTRA EXTRA GADDY PRIZE - NOW CLOSED"

** COMPETITION CLOSED **

Well, this was a tough one to judge. There were loads of good entries. A lot of good ideas didn't make it becuase they were too long to make it on a shop sign as a nice, neat slogan. Plus, quite a few people suggested very similar slogans but the winner goes to the person who came up with the best variation that we will use in forthcoming promotions.

The winner is Dr Gonzo for the slogan:
"Play, complete, trade, repeat".

Thanks for all your great entries,

Loki.

So easy that we are only running this until Friday October 12th (closes at Midnight that day).

At the risk of promoting Electonics Bou... Bou... nope, can't bring myself to say it.

Well they have a slogan. Only one. I think it is "Played it, Trade it" but of course I would not read their ads or be seen in one of their stores (so how would I know).

The thing is - we want a slogan too, for our part-exchange games initiative in the shops (which will soon be coming to the internet - mad fools we are). We take games in part-exchange and then we sell them at second-hand prices.

So the challenge is:

Make up a nice short snappy slogan which can be printed on signs in our shops, to let everybody know that we take old games in part exchange for new games (or anything).

Off you go then - please don't enter 900 rubbishy slogans. Just a few good ones will do.

There can only be one winner but you can enter as many times as you like. The best slogan in the opinion of, well me actually, will win any game of their choice from our catalogue.

Now let's see - my money is on Monkey with Attitude (if he is still around). But no preferential treatment will be given, ever.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ok imagine this is being yelled by a town crier (the bloke who walked round yelling news)

"Old games for new, Old games for new!"

But anyway.

im a bit sleepy now so i think thats probably crap so ill think up some better ones.

Keep Your Room Tidy. Recycle Games.

"Play - complete - trade...play - complete - trade...keep the cycle flowing at SR."

Nope...

Actually... I was eating a crisp packet... and I looked at the calorie count (which is bloody high)... below this was the recycle symbol... and I thought of recycling games.

Infact. Tony.

Recycling Games@Special Reserve.

(Then use the actual world wide recycle symbol, the one with all the arrows, but change it for a game in the middle.... yeah)

Now the last one was good but where did you get that brilliant recycle idea ;)

Ok. That last one was supposed to say:
