Cleaning Games

Here are some ways to clean up your used games and consoles so they become good as new.

Cleaning Solution
Mix one cup of water and one table spoon of rubbing alcohol to make a the ten dollar cleaning solution Funcoland tries to sell you.

Cleaning the Carts
  1. Take a cotton swap and dip it into the cleaning solution.
  2. Rub the swap gently over the exposed circuits of the cartridge. Do not use on CD's.
  3. Set the game aside to let is dry.

Cleaning Consoles
  1. Take a cotton swap and dip it into the cleaning solution.
  2. Apply a generous amount to the exposed circuits of a cartridge, preferably a busted or unused one.
  3. Insert and remove the cartridge gently a few times into the console.
  4. Have the console open if possible and let is dry.
  5. I personaly find that playing with the cartidge damp is an guarentined way for my systems to register and play the games.

I will not be held responsible if you damage your games and machines by carelessness. Suck it up and take responsibilities for your own actions. (Last time I checked I was the fictional sprite of no physical reality to sway your hands.)
