I have a cart of Star Control that refuses to read. Ive cleaned multiple times. It does sound like something small is loose inside the cart which I find weird. Going to take it apart to see.
Anyone else have this game ?
EDIT: Took the cart apart (need security torx bit) and the rattling was just a couple broken plastic clips inside. It didn’t look that dirty but I really scrubbed at the contacts with q tips and some de-oxit this time, and I did have to re seat it a couple times in the genesis (as usual) but then it did work! And man, this game is worth it. Get the cart or the ROM if you haven’t and play it (I’m sure the Amiga version is probably the best since this was a port) but man this game really holds up today. If you like Asteroids (one of my favorites) at all, this is similar to that but on steroids. Such creative ships and gameplay, and awesome music, and 2 player to boot! Definitely underrated (i’d never heard of it)
I had no idea how good this game is. Worth the amount I thought I overpaid… I finally got it workin! took it apart and gave it a good clean. This game actually does not have a battery in it.
Excellent! Now play the sequel and come back to tell me how amazing it is.
Edit: if you need more enticement, it’s got way more ships too.
