Yep I remember them days. And when I pull down my Sega Genesis I still got to do it. Some times I do it just for old time sake. XD

LOL!!!

Man, I lost count on how many times I did that to my NES games just to get those idiots to work.

That is, until I learned how to crack open the NES and clean it without having to deal with all the stuff inside it. Life was easier.

And the odd thing is that they usually did end up working after I did that; just recently I bought some NES games that I thought were malfunctional but after a bit of blowing they worked o_O

And why does no one use canned air? XD

I was the master of cartridge blowing. (that sounds dirty). You do a double take and half, does it every time. I miss the NES flashing blue screen. T_T;

Ah, the good old days.

I've actually found that different NESs flash different colors when the games malfunction. My NES flashes orange, whereas I've seen some flash blue, yellow, and sometimes flash blue AND orange. I might have even seen pink or red somewhere, I can't remember x_x;

Hah!

Ah, the amount of times I've had to do that...though I wouldn't do just that. If the game didn't work after I blew into it a few times, I would then attack it with a damp q-tip...which, even if that's not the best thing to do, usually got even the most stubborn games to work.

Though I still have to do that even now...this time with my SNES games and my older gameboy games. The amount of dirty stuff that's collected on them...oh man.

Those black sleeves for the NES games didn't do a thing. The little cases/docks for the SuperNES ones were pretty good though.
