I second this. Magic Eraser works wonderfully on NES carts.

make sure the magic eraser is wet thoroughly then rung out. it doesn't really work the same if you just start rubbing dry (twss).

also i've been using this guy for all my cleaning needs lately and, coupled with a magic eraser for stubborn marker, it's working wonderfully:

Maybe not such amazing deals but how can I walk past gameboy games I don't have when I'm packing the GBA Sp and about to hop on the train! Pity my train ride is about 10 minutes if that...

Original Gameboy each in the plastic nintendo cases:

Daedalian Opus $2
Oddworld Adventures $3
Star Wars $3
Super Mario Land $5

Also a grey N64 controller for $5

(my usual pawn shop)

I bought a collection over the weekend and it had a sealed copy of Super Tennis for the Master System.

^^ nice score on that sealed sms game, looks like one sold for about $30 last year.

I picked up an Ion iCade from my local thrift for $20.00. Now for some Cave goodness.

Was looking on ebay for a copy if Ridge Racer 4 for a good price, and all the ones listed were disc only. I come across one listed for $6 shipped, states discs are good and original case (no photo) so I buy it. It came today, and I was all excited to play it tonight, open the package, case looks good, open the case.... Jet Moto FUUUUUUUU! It still has the bonus disc with the original on it. I looked at the sellers page again, and it was sold by a goodwill location, so I assume that they just got it in a donation and threw it up. Not sure if I want to go through with a refund, as it was such a low value, maybe I can get one of those super cheap disc onlys now...

You have every right to a refund, but I'd go for the disc replacement too. Jet Moto is okay, and that enhanced version of Ridge Racer should entertain you for a while :)

Last week I got these for $2-3 each. Not incredible finds, but they're really fun games. I'm a huge fan of Soulcalibur III and the guide should help me improve my game even more. Too bad there wasn't online multiplayer!

Got this for $38 shipped. Average price but I still wanted to show it off.

I was gonna probably let this go, but I tried the bonus disc and it doesnt work! Opened a case requesting a refund. I have a local store that has this game complete for $12 bucks, I might just stop over there so I can guarantee I get everything in good working order.
