About my design

by Jaakie201   
Man.. Mario's really got the blues...

his cartridge won't work..



(5 colors with halftones, 4 without the little blue touch)



There's also a small cameo appearing ;)

really awesome:) too bad it doesn't have some thing like Mario band in an old band style t-shirt.

Probably better this way, it's great in it's simplicity.

I don't think a "blowing into a cartridge to make a NES game work properly" reference can get any more abstract or bette than this. Above and beyond, dude.



5$



ps- I recently borke out my old NES for many hours of delicious Mario 3-ing and what works best is getting some rubbing alcohol and q-tips and running it all around the inside of the cartridge....worked like a charm!

@FRICKINAWESOME; good tip, will try that out... cause I've really been getting the urge to play the old nes again... We even have this official nintendo cleaning cassette that hardly works (you could say it 'blows', but then again it doesn't :(
