JacobZu7zu7 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Got Demon Attack sealed, I opened just the bottom, enuff to pull the game tray out, wondering if the game is good to play, or should it be cleaned with q-tip first? What's the best way to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Got Demon Attack sealed, I opened just the bottom, enuff to pull the game tray out, wondering if the game is good to play, or should it be cleaned with q-tip first? What's the best way to go? Wouldn't hurt to swipe it with a Q*Tip and maybe some rubbing alcohol or a game cleaner if you have some. Some dust and minor oxidation I'd assume sitting all these years.

+Psionic Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I also usually clean sealed games upon opening them...certainly doesn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I'm also a cleaner of recently unsealed games. Most of the time they're already clean, but there have been a few where the q-tip did wipe some grunge off of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psionic Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 One other thing I always do... Cleaning using a Q-tip can leave cotton on the game contacts, even if you're really careful. I usually go over them lightly with a soft, dry toothbrush after swabbing them just to remove any wisps of cotton that might've gotten caught.

Being a 20+ year old game, seems wise to give it a gentle cleaning, before usage. For the extra cotton shavings, I normally shake the cart a little, and if that doesn't clean it, I use a paper towel, or clean dry rag and swipe the q-tip leftovers, works great for me.
