Do you think blowing air on NES games really did anything?

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.

i remember there was the counter-advice:
"dont blow on it too much or you'll erase the game!"
"dont blow on it too much or you'll erase the game!"

The top loader is a tough find and pretty expensive.
