What else could be wrong?

So, I have a Super Nintendo game that doesn't work. The contacts are CLEAN! I have taken it apart and cleaned it more but nothing. The board looks fine and there is nothing broken on it or anything. Anything else I could check? I am going to list it for a friend and if I can get it to work, it will be worth lots more. Thanks for the input.

Lost Vikings for Genesis

Maydogg6 — 2009-11-19T10:53:19 -05.0 0

I just picked up a copy of The Lost Vikings for the Genesis. I'd been curious about the SNES version for a while and I didn't even know there was a sega version, so when I saw it, I went for it.

Does anyone know if there's any major differences between the two games? Are they pretty much the same or is one a superior version?

This looks pretty sweet - anyone know who's working on it?

Has anyone played this game? So far it's been pretty easy but I can't figure out what to do once I reach the Amazon. Does anyone know? There is a clue in the level that makes it sound like I'm supposed to wait somewhere for an hour. I've tried a few different places but so far none of them have worked.

Maps for Arcana on the SNES - A great RPG

I just finished mapping out the first Chapter in Arcana on the SNES. I just wanted to get some feedback before mapping the rest of the game. Let me know if the layout looks good and if it is easy to follow.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii Level Editor

Apparently there were two versions in the works, code names "Reggie" and "Tanooki". Looks like "Tanooki" has already seen a release and people have started making their own levels.

Tanooki:

Reggie: (still in Beta)

I'm clueless on how to make this all work, so anyone can chime in with additional info. Either way, it's just exciting to know that NSMB Wii just got a LOT more replay value

Online Multiplayer FPS's for Wii

AllYourBase — 2009-11-14T18:22:08 -05.0 0

Back in the before time, in the long long ago - the days of last gen, my absolute favorite thing to do was play Halo 2 multiplayer online. Since then, I've been craving something like it on the Wii. I bought Call of Duty: WaW the day it came out, and it's been great. Pointing and shooting is everything I've ever dreamed of. But COD is just not doing it for me anymore.

I looked it up, and these are the only Online FPS's for Wii I could find:

The Conduit
007: Quantum of Solace
Medal of Honor: Heroes 2
Call of Duty: World at War

Is there really only 4 online FPS games for the best FPS console ever made? If so, that's pitiful!
Are any of these games good? I totally forgot about The Conduit since it was released... Is that worth picking up? I read some bad reviews, but they mostly seemed to be complaining about a bad storyline.

I noticed that Medal of Honor has 32 people simultaneous multiplayer... It sounds pretty freaking awesome. Is it any good? Is it easy or hard to get a 32-man match going at any given time?
