I saw the arcade version in a skating rink once, but I never came across the SNES game. Honestly I never came across Turtles in Time either. These were games I was always interested in.

I've looked at every cartoony game I can think of. I'm stumped.

This game is hard.

I think you should leave it like it is for now. You can always refine that after the rest is done.

No, no, you've got to have them all or it doesn't count.

They also make an electronics cleaner spray that I've heard some good things about.

I'm pretty sure I ruined a connector once by boiling it too long. Too much heat can soften the plastic.

Darkwing Duck is basically a MegaMan game IMO.

Pretty neat. It kind of reminds me of a Wario Ware game.

Is there another box that looks more like the typical SNES box? I feel like I remember seeing the other version from way back.

I don't know if I would call it the best, but the most memorable for me is Super Mario Bros. 2.

For the first game, I would highly recommend the Switch port. It has a lot of really nice quality of life improvements including an automap feature and a mode that gives you more experience and money. It's also cheap enough most people could buy it with their points alone.

60 is better, but 30 is OK. Anything below that should make the devs feel ashamed.

If you have access to a soldering iron, it might be better to reflow the pins first. Use soldering flux also, especially if you're inexperienced with soldering. If you're really unsure, find yourself a cell phone repair shop or somewhere that does electronics or musical instrument repairs and have them do it.

I want to like parappa, but I suck at rhythm games. It's more fun for me to just watch it on youtube.

I like my mister, but that's about as far from OG hardware I want to get.

I miss 80's and 90's Konami.

A cracked solder joint could work intermittently if your wiggling got the pin to make a connection.

I've been playing Zelda 2- Amida's Curse, a romhack of Zelda 2. It's a really cool hack that's very well done. It even has it's own custom palette file for emulators. I'm not the biggest Zelda 2 fan, but I've played almost all the way through this. https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/6292/

I don't think the blemish is anything of note. I also don't see any broken traces, but they could be hiding under the green coating which is the solder mask. The next step would be to use a multimeter to test continuity between the edge connectors and the chip pins. This would tell you if there were any damaged traces. You could also reflow the solder on the chip pins with a solder iron. It's possible the white stuff you're talking about could be corrosion, but I honestly can't see it in the pictures. Lastly, just make sure the contacts on the edge connector are really clean. I recommend giving them a gentle scrubbing with a pencil eraser just to be sure.

I only ever played it for the PS2, but got frustrated with the twin stick controls. I really need to revisit it on a pc.

There is a translation patch for it if you're using a flash cart. I can message you some more information if you want.

I found a new one I like. Warpman

These are some I like. They're mostly simple arcade style stuff. No Japanese required, most even have English menus. Challenger Cosmic Epsilon Dragon Buster 1 & 2 (very different games) Formation Z Ikki Insector X King Kong 2 - Ikari No Megaton Punch Layla Quarth Star Wars (Namco version) Super Arabian Thexder Volguard II Zunou Senkan Galg

Phil's computer lab has a lot of info on this type of stuff, both on his website and youtube channel. https://www.philscomputerlab.com/ https://www.youtube.com/c/philscomputerlab
