Did it really even work?



frick yeah it did.

If blowing air into it didn't work the true fix was inserting the cartridge 95% of the way and then forcing it down. That shite was money.

This - plus we’d have to put another game on top plus about 5 baseball cards -
Worked 90% of the time every time.

I figured out the other 5% because I was desperate as frick. I couldn't get Tecmo Super Bowl to work no matter what I tried (blowing in the cartridge and console, 95% in, etc). I got it to work by inserting the cartridge 95% in, pushing all the way down and then lodging another game on top inside the machine where it wouldn't pop back up........shite was 100% money.
