Carl Williams writes, "For the sake of fairness here I am going to keep this comparison discussion squarely in the 16-Bit era of gaming. That means we won’t be comparing the Game Boy, Game Gear, Nintendo Entertainment System or Sega Master System versions of the Mickey Mouse games. Sure, there were plenty on those platforms, most by Capcom and Sega, but I have to narrow this comparison down somehow so 16-Bit it is. That still leaves more than a small handful of titles to compare on the Sega Genesis versus the Super Nintendo (carrying on the tradition set in our first issue). The question is, who built the better mouse trap?"
We have all been there! Blowing on a Nintendo video game cartridge when the game we were playing just would not launch or appeared to be glitching.
I mean it worked for me. Regardless if it was just a poor connection between the cartridge and the console or some random bug that was preventing the game from loading properly, the placebo effect of knowing your breath is what fixed the game is dead set in the minds of plenty of 80s gamers.
Clearing the dust from inside the cartridge by blowing on it did work.
Perhaps YOU are unfamiliar with how easily dust can disrupt electronics, but entire generations of gamers and computer users are.
It definitely works. They can go on and on about how it didn't but I was there for 100s of games. It was pretty damn common.

When the first footage of Over Jump Rally appeared online, it rightly caused quite a stir. Created using Unreal Engine 5, it offered a tantalizing glimpse of what a modern-day Sega Rally could look like, complete with super-realistic car models, breathtaking environments and – of course – the trademark Sega Blue Sky.
Well done and great potential for a tribute.
Hey Dev, would you happen to be a fan of Skies of Arcadia? Lol
Mickey Mania now that was a great game to play. As for all those other titles they were all great to play. Sure hope Disney does an Epic Mickey 3.
