Game Cleaning

If you look through the internet for the best method of cleaning your games, you find a lot of ideas. Some people say to use Q-tips. Some same you can use an eraser. Someone even uses a rough brillo pad thing to scrape the games into shininess. The one that made the most sense to me was using metal polish on the connector's and so far it does seem to get an incredible amount of black off the connector's. Who knows how this will work out five years from now, but nobody thinks this will totally destroy the cart the way using an abrasive or or other things that common sense or the warning sticker on the back says not to use.
Anyways, at a local large flea market type thing, I found someone selling NES games and pretty good prices. He had them shrinkwrapped to keep them clean since he said he took them apart and cleaned them. Great, I thought, saves me the trouble. But of course I had to test this to see how he cleaned or if he even cleaned and I have to say he cleaned the plastic parts pretty well, but when the connector's were polished, they were just as dirty as most anything else I've found so far.

So far I have had fun seeing the boards in the games. My biggest board is Castlevania 3.


The strangest one so far is the Super Mario/Duck Hunt/Track Meet cart.


Here is a pic of my system for the record.
