Folks, I’m here to tell you about a tragedy that has spread across our great nation. Not war, unemployment or pollution, no sir, but the senseless tragedy of millions of Game Boy game cartridges discarded as broken when they were simply dirty.

You too might have unclean cartridges in your home right now! Have you ever had a game that once played fine but now you can’t get it to work? Dirt and dust inside the cartridges could be preventing your Game Boy from reading the program info. Help take part in cleaning these dirty little games up with a step-by-step on how to clean your Game Boy game cartridges.
