Quote:Yes, they were. And if you even try to tell me you turn it on and get the game working the very first time every time, without blowing on the cart or inside the machine or performing all sorts of little tricks which are pretty famous because the NES WAS A PIECE OF SHIT, then you are either the world's luckiest bastard or your NES was never once used until about six months ago.
That's the first mistake you made. Blowing into your system and carts is very damaging to them. You're supposed to dip a cue tip into hydrogen peroxide and gently clean the contacts on your carts and inside the system in order to clean it. Everyone blew into their carts and systems which is why some of them broke down so fast.
