Yea. Or leaving the game slightly out of the slot so it makes the clunk sound before it goes in.

Thats what I did all the time. Worked like a charm.

Dont forget the hot air blow, where you dont so much as "phoooooo" but "haaaaaaaa"....worked way better. Wet q-tips also worked good, after you dried them with the other side. And the single best trick I remember was to put the cartridge in normally, then press forward on it and shove it in another few millimeters. If that didnt work, Id go for the clunk.

I guess I Was lucky, I kept all my games WELL maintained. Never had to blow on any of them. Still have them and they still all play. I had to blow on games I borrowed from friends though. Or use the trick of shoving another cartridge or a sock on top of a game in the system to get it to play. Well that was until I got my gold game genie and I didn't need to do the shoving thing so long as I had that at least.

Oh, I hated the fvcking water level in that game. I know, its only like the second level but as a kid I had a hard time swimming thru those electricuting things

I had a game genie, that thing worked wonders for making games work. Don't know how, but eventually I played every game with the game genie, not even using any codes.

There was a top loader?

 

[KokomoGSTmp]

Genesis was a top loader... I occassionally blew on the contacts of the cartidge too when reseating it didn't work. Man, dust!

 

[wfbberzerker]

i remember there was the counter-advice:

"dont blow on it too much or you'll erase the game!"

The top loader is a tough find and pretty expensive.
