How many of you remember blowing air into your Nintendo’s NES cartridges to get them to work? I used to all the time.

Gamers blew into the cartridges believing the wetness from the spit would spark the electrical pins in the game. This was false.


 
I guess it was just coincidence that the game ended up playing after blowing into it.
