Remember when you had to do this? I sure do.

 

[RoxasOld]

I remember when I had to do that with my Nintendo. I still do it, when I play my Genesis XD

 

[Chikara]

I think I lost my Genisis 0.o oh well, I remember when my brother had to do that, I never did though

 

[Renagadez]

I do that to me gameboy games 0_o

 

[The S]

Still do that to this very day, on my SNES, GBA, and N64.

 

[Arcanine]

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

 

[Naito]

I still have to do it for my GBA, DS, GBC, GB, N64, and any other game system i have that doesn't use a disk insted of a cardtrigde.

 

[Mario The World Champion]

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.

 

[Cybex Mewtwo]

OLD SKOOL!!! WOOT! I had to do that quite a lot...and I enjoyed every minute.

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

 

[TRIFORCE89]

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.

 

[Chairman Kaga]

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;

 

[Sylphiel]

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.
