What is your worst pickup?

So far I haven't played a single game on my genesis. I bought it, plugged it in and it just sits there <.<

I have a cart of Ninja Gaiden 3: The Ancient Ship of Doom that has a badly damaged label, and a board that was swapped with Goonies 2.  Luckily, it was on eBay, so, I got my money back, but Jeeeez.

How does Godzilla fit in the passenger seat?

Also, hello there stranger!

This one is easy.  I was at a pawn shop in the area and I spotted a CIB Stellar-Fire for the Sega CD.  It had an old price tag on it of $15 dollars, that I thought was just there not marked by the owner.  Since nothing else was marked.  So I grabbed it and 2 Xbox games Def Jam: Fight for N.Y. and Mechassault.

Dropped them in my wife's lap and  asked her to pay for them while I ran to the bathroom.  When it was all said and done it was $35.  The Xbox games were $10 a piece, which Def Jam didn't work.  Of course that meant Stellar-Fire WAS in fact $15.  I was so damn mad I could spit.  It was my fault though I didn't think to ask and mother nature was being quite demanding.  The only game that was reasonable was a coaster.  I don't set foot in there anymore.

I bought a copy of Stinger for NES and about 6 years later it started leaking a brown, oozing fluid.  It wasn't electrolyte, the circuit board was clean.  This stuff was trailing all around the inside of the cartridge.

I'm thinking it was some kind of Venom-esque, interstellar, parasitic life-form.

That's mold. We've discussed that before.

What comes to mind is the Genesis/NES clone system I bought from Goodwill for $10 about six months ago.  I brought it home and the thing was just dead.  You're often taking a chance when you buy from Goodwill.

Sounds yummy! Did you lick it to get super powers?

*Dumb question alert*

How does a cart grow mold?  Especially if taken care of.  I have never seen this and am very curious.

Someone probably dropped it in something or spilled something on it at some point.

My bread grows mold all the time and I take care of it!
