Did you try blowing in them?

That wasn't actually good for the cartridge, long term. My parents provided us with q-tips, but we were a Nintendo family. I had a few friends that had the SEGA Master System, and though I don't remember the titles, I do remember several cartridges that we never played, because there were problems with the game a level or two in.

oh so the whole "sega games are broken" thing was just your experience with your friend's pirated or literally broken cartridges?

Nope. Those were official SEGA games. This is literally the reason that the SEGA vs Nintendo wars started.

i'm pretty sure console wars start when two companies try to fill the same niche, not when one company (according to one person's anecdote) has broken games
