Remember when?

[JayFlip]

Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn?t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ?s. We just figured it out. Today?s kids are soft.

I remember this Oh the memories of epic NES gaming sessions.

 

[JayFlip]

My NES still works.

So does my original PONG!!!!!

 

[dopey288]

my fav games were mario kart.donky kong 64, mario 64 and the original smash bros. those 4 games were SOOO epic

 

[JayFlip]

N64 and SNES aren't NES. I suppose they ARE the same "blow in the thing" though.

 

[lotus blade]

[DUCE]

I miss my old school Nintendo...at least there's always ROMs around.

 

[Legit^]

[Cut Chem!st]

Yeah.. I don't know I figured the blowing thing by my self. Just thought, HEY! it must be dirty.

 

[AnotherAsian]

LOL, the evolution of fixing nintendo cartridges....

1. take cartridge out and blow in it.

2. Smack the top of nintendo until game comes on.

3. SMASH the top of nintendo until the game comes on or the little lid flap breaks off.

4. Ask parents to buy new Nintendo because yours has become "Unable to run games" do too mysterious problems from "use".

 

[USMC SatComm TeK Stubster]

You all knew about it because us old Atari and Intellivision players told you thats how you fix it!

 

[Tidus]

I remember doing this all the time with my N64. Ocarina of Time was always a pain, lol.

 

[Putty]

My NES was so ghetto'd. We First off the spring system that kept the cartridge locked in gave out, so we had to put two cartridges in, one basically prying the other into place, and the bottom one was the game you wanted to play. If that didn't work, you had to give it the ol' blow trick.
