Games you were stoked about getting.. and they don't work

I bought a new/sealed Android Assault for the Sega CD when Best Buy was liquidating them back in the day. Unfortunately, it didn't work past the company logo at the beginning. Fortunately I eventually got ahold of another copy, but man was I stoked to play it when I originally got it. It looked amazing on the back of the box.

I recently received a copy of Ninja Gaiden II as a gift, an awesome game I was definitely looking forward to playing, but the bloody thing is as tempermental as any NES cart I own. My copy of Mega Man 6 gives me a hard time but this Ninja Gaiden II, even after a very thorough cleaning, only boots about one every ten tries, and that's using a Game Genie for a tighter connection. Even then, it's prone to graphical glitching and some very unusual & strangely eye catching crashes.
