The shot of the front of the building is by far the coolest...

The cartridge is upside down.

Heh. Did you read why?

In 15 years of repairing NES systems, playing them, having spent 20+ hours a week as a middle school kid on mine or those of friends, I've never seen that.  Ever.

But that's just it. YOU repair them. Other people just jam another cartridge in and see what happens.

I'll vouch for it.  I've done it, and I've seen it done by other people lots of times.  You click one game in normally, and then stick another game in on top of it.  It presses down on the game that's inserted properly just enough to make it work.  Sometimes.  As we know, any NES fix is hit and miss.

I didn't start repairing them until I was an adult.  As I said, I spent as much as 20 hours a week as a kid playing NES in my house and friends' houses, never once saw the spring loader wear out.
