  1. For those curious, the three yellow items on the left are three pieces from a video game cleaning kit that was released in the late '80s. The pieces are, top to bottom, an NES pin cleaner, a cartridge cleaner, and an SNES/Genesis pin cleaner.

     

    Looking online, the full kit also included more pin cleaners in differing sizes for the Atari 2600, Sega Master System, and even the Turbografx 16, and a bottle of an isopropyl alcohol based cleaning solution.

     

    Testing the SNES/Genesis pin cleaner on my Genesis proved it to work amazingly well. Turns out my Genesis had more grime on its pins than I expected. Sadly, it is too wide to fit inside my 2600, but it DOES fit in my Intellivision.

    Unfortunately, the NES pin cleaner broke when I attempted to try it out.

  2. Day two of my garage sale odyssey:

     

    Sadly, three games I had hoped to purchase today were gone when I got back. Metroid Prime, Skyward Sword, and an intriguing Inuyasha RPG for the PS2.

     

    The Pitfall II and Saturn game were still available, though. As well as EyeToy Play for the PS2, and the blue Wiimote.

  3. They weren't only still boxed... They were still sealed in their plastic.

     

    I, uh... Couldn't resist opening them... But that Hobbit game looked too fun NOT to open.

     

    On another note, depending on how much cash I have left tomorrow, I may be getting another GameCube game, maybe a PS2 game...

     

    But I'm DEFINITELY getting the Saturn game and the Pitfall 2 cart.

  4. It makes some sense, actually. In Brazil, both the Master System and Mega Drive were hugely popular, much bigger than Nintendo ever was in that region.

     

    Indeed, the Master System was so popular that it was still being made by Tec Toy for the Brazillian market for over a decade after it had been discontinued in the US and Europe.
