How exactly do tyou do that?

Well they used to sell cleaning kits for SNES carts, but since they don't do that anymore you can just use a little bit of alcohol on a q-tip.

I'm a fan of the Nintendo 64 and Playstation. I also like the many classic arcade games such as Joust, Sinistar, Robotron 2084 and PacMan.

My first game console was the Nintendo Entertainment System. I didn't use it much, but I just had a few Mario games for it.

Then in 1997 I got the original Playstation, which I used heavily from 1997-2004.  I had tons of games for it, but my favorites included Vigilantie 8 (sp) and the Driver series (1 and 2). I sold the PS in 2006.

In early December 2002 I got a Gamecube from a bowling league. I never used that system much and is currently just sitting unplugged.

In June 2005 I got an Xbox, just months before the Xbox 360 came out (I guess I should of just waited a bit longer hehe). The games I play on there include Driver 3 and Burnout. I plan to get the fourth Driver game soon. According to Wikipedia, the game is available on Xbox, but I don't see it in any store (retail or online). All they have are PS2 games. :unsure:

I also have played a few computer games, but I have always used game consoles more mainly because I have used Macs all my life until two years ago and not many good games are available for Macs.

I first had a Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP for my 12th birthday on May 2004.

Then I got an XBOX in December 2005
