Absolutely. Shitloads of dust got in those things INSIDE the Nintendo in the two hours since we had previously played.

You have to realize most homes were dustier than today’s homes. People still smoked like chimneys and shag carpets were still in people’s homes holding years of dust that was never really vacuumed up. It was just recirculated each vacuum. Plus that cigarette smoke put a nicotine glaze on everything.
I just picture a YouTuber fixing a 1970/80’s console TV and commenting how baked it was with the nicotine smell emanating from the capacitor and board components when he first turns it on.
