What do I think?
This is the second month in a row where I have not gotten a single game that I have had any interest in whatsoever. I have changed my library to receive PlayStation 1 games, but once again it was simply Master System and Famicom. I think for my next box I'm going to have to remove those two systems altogether and change my offerings because I really have not been pleased with what I've received.

One of the things that I've always wanted to do was get inside a Famicom cartridge, and I finally managed to do that in this box. Part of the reason I was able to do it was I didn't care if I broke these games, that's how little I felt for these titles. Once inside them, however, I was floored and how filthy these pins were. Admittedly, it is a challenge to get inside a Famicom cartridge, but these were in serious need of cleaning.

To clean a cartridge, you generally just need isopropyl alcohol, the higher percentage the better, and some kind of a cleaning applicator. Lint free swabs work well, I use 1Up Cleaning Cards myself, but in a pinch you can use cotton swabs. If you're going to use cotton swabs make sure that you don't leave any lint or dander behind.

For games with extreme signs of dirt, where, corrosion, or worse, I utilize a metal cleaner called Brite Boy. Good friend of the channel @JohnRiggs likes to say that cleaning the pins on your games with Brite Boy is like resurfacing a disc. You're removing the dirt and the scratches, you're also removing a very small layer of the metal to the pins. What I really appreciate about Brite Boy is the fact it is not an abrasive and it doesn't leave that white residue behind like a Brasso can.

A few of these games took more than one application of Brite Boy to fully clean. After I was done with applying it, I made sure to use a 1Up Cleaning Card and isopropyl alcohol to remove any leftover Brite Boy. In the end, the cartridges were much cleaner than when I received them and I prevented my console or adapter from getting gunked up.

I'm not sure that I'm going to do a box for April, with conventions coming I may save my video games monthly money and use it towards stuff at shows. Let me know what you think about this box, the quality of games, and the cleanliness of games in the comments.
