Any hope of repairing old cartidges?
Re: Any hope of repairing old cartidges?
I have robotron, and I even have the little thingie you stick the two controllers in to play it easier. It's as much of a pain in the @@@ to play as it was when I was a kid...but secretly I am addicted to it. Sorry no green cartridges in the lot.

Yeah, the really really bad cart I had was a Parker Bros Frogger. Carefully scrubbing with a lightly dampened green scrubby sponge brought that one back for me.

Ah a re-collector, congrats! I did the same for some 2600 games on the 7800.ajsracket wrote:I have robotron, and I even have the little thingie you stick the two controllers in to play it easier.

Oh well, been looking for the other half of Miner 2049er, Bounty Bob Strikes Back. Some gems in the 5200, even if the controllers are marginal. Great you have the Twin Stick Adapter, those are hard to come by. Did you get any other controllers such as a Trakball or Wico Sticks?
