This week we are going to discuss one of the more frustrating aspects of retro gaming: how to get your original Nintendo Entertainment System to work.
Sure, there are plenty of methods that have been tried and true.
-Blowing in the game cartridge
-Attaching another medium like the Game Genie
-Cleaning a game with rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip
But I think I found a method that has never EVER been discussed or published. Ladies and Gentleman: The Hockey Puck Theory
A standard NHL ice hockey puck is one inch in thickness and three inches in diameter. Historically, it has been used for sport only, but they have another use. They are the perfect wedge between NES game and the inside of an NES console. Next time you need help, consider this:
1. Give the game a good luck blow combining hot breath and steady wind.
2. Insert the game and press down as far as it will go.
3. Jiggle within the system horizontally for five full seconds.
4. Stick hockey puck on top of game.
5. Save the princess
