So I recently picked up a 4oz can of Slot Glide from my local Orafice... I mean Office Depot. It was only one whole dollar, and I would buy that for a dollar so I was like whatever let's do this. So get this they want you to splooge this junk all over your PCI slots so your grandma arms can handle swaping out a few stiff cards. First of all I would never spunk this junk into a tower. But when it comes to old consoles, I was willing to sacrifice one of my many Sega Genesis consoles for the cause!
So I decided to get ballsy and slip this mericle tonic straight into my favorite Genesis Console because it has the biggest issue with loading games. The reason it sucks half the time at loading games is probably because it's an original model from 1989 and it was tracked down at a dingy thrift store. So anyways I lube this baby up, it's greasing all over the place like a fat kid waiting in line at a mcdonalds in florida.
So I decided to throw one of my spare carts of Sonic The Hedgehog to the wolves and slot it in. At this point I'm just curious as to what's going to happen so without thinking I plug in the console and flick the switch. It turns on with no problems, isn't that special. So I decided to switch out the games, see how a more manly game takes the juice. As I remove sonic I realise it's dripping heavier than your Aunt Joan watching soaps so I bring out the trusty Q-Tips! I do a couple swipes to lap up the sauce when I realise this cart is dirtier than your grandpa's collen.
Now this doesn't make any sense because I've cleaned all these carts. Then I realised this slot glide crap was freeing up the grime stuck in the slot on the console. So I kept slapping different games in there and q-tipping off the grime. Now the genesis works like a dream!
So maybe this slot glide isn't so bad after all. I have a spare NES console that was given to me taking up space so I'm gonna have to hose it down to see how this slot glide really performs. Unlike my actual NES console which has a pin replacement installed this beast is original and dirtier then ever. So it should make for the perfect test. I'll comment on this post later to leave feedback as to whether the old NES stops flashing or not. So far tho it seems Slot Glide works the magic on the vintage consoles, but I'd still never use this on a computer. Unless it was a computer I didn't care to kill.
