Do you have to blow into the cartridge to make these things work? ???

Just use a airgun or leaf blower and do the entire collection at once :)

LOL, Yea theres a flashback. Actually, the main problem was with the NES, not the ROMS when cartridges would not run because of the ZIF (zero insertion force) connection. You could just replace the ZIF component on your NES. You can get the part for like 8 dollars. NES games mostly don't work because of the ZIF cartridge socket in the nes. Repeated insertion and removal of cartridges caused the pins to wear out. Also, the slot connector that the cartridge was actually inserted into was highly prone to corrosion.

Hmmm. Check the bid history. All bidders have a letter or number followed by *** then another letter or number. Just a coincidence? Probably not. Anyone know what a collection like this is really worth?
