I wonder how people learn to just blow on the cartridge to get games to work. This was well before the internet, seems like anyone I ever met who had an nes knew about this trick.

Yeah, I noticed him using a q-tip too. My mother came up with that idea when I was renting a lot of games and they would get all buggy when I turned them on. She'd dip a q-tip in a little bit of rubbing alcohol and clean out around the contacts, then let it dry, and it'd work like magic.

Yeah, same here, my mom told me to try that, and lo and behold it worked.

LMAO!! Soooo true. That game was hard as f*ck, and really annoying at times (especially the underwater part). That review was freaking hilarious. :D

I have never laughed so hard at something on the internet as I have at his end rant. Hell, I have never laughed so hard at anything in my life as I did with his tirade. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

OMG THAT TYPHOON LEVEL!! The worst!! That bonus stage was impossible just like it showed in that video. I was lucky to dodge that sharp crap once.

All those videos are amazing reminders of how impossible some NES games were. How I beat all those games I have no idea.


His review of the Back to the Future games is totally spot on. HORRIBLE GAMES!!! Nothing like the movies!!
