Is it possible to clean N64 games?
I have a few games that are a little hard to get started, and I have a rental that just stopped working (still have it, is due back by Friday).
Can you clean the little metal prongs with a Q-tip and alcohol? Or is it best not to try to mess with it?

I used rubbing alcohol and a q-tip to clean the metal prongs, took off quite a bit of dirt. But it still doesn't work.
How can an N64 game break? This is a rental and was working fine, then suddenly it just stopped working. I think my 2 year old blew on it (he saw me doing it on another game), but I think that would kill the game completely.
Any other ideas on how to get the game working? I'm still trying to figure out what to tell the rental store. It is an old, obviously used many times, game.
