Foil paper to make contact, soft-mushy buttons, and foam in-between. I couldn't make heads or tails of most of it. But I did at least clean everything and make sure all connections were still in place, then snapped it back together. Still a no go. I'm sure something shorted out or burned out being that old. |

Well, I suppose the only way to narrow down the problem is to try another game. That SHOULD at least tell you if it's the game or the system itself. Did you check it with a continuity tester to look for broken traces? |

I could, but I wouldn't even spend the money on another game, anyways. It's a neat conversation piece, but it's really not the best when it comes to gameplay. I ran through the possibility that it might be the game, but just kind of said, "oh well." If I ever came across another game for a $1 or $2 at the thrift shop or yard sale or something, I might get one, but that's about it. |
