My friend Seann has this broken-down, old-school Nintendo in his apartment.He can only get it to work by setting a full can of Old Style on the game cartridge, which I guess applies the exact amount of pressure needed to get the heads to line up right and make the game work. Talk about product placement (rim-shot). The fact that the console is missing its top half and therefore probably shouldn’t work at all is something we’ll ignore for now — really, don’t let it bug you.
Seann made this discovery through a stroke of random luck as he sat frustrated after fussing with the machine for hours. It really make me miss the old days of mechanical-based video game systems, where solutions for fixing them include blowing into the cartridges, using Q-tips, and smacking the machine, instead of having to download hacks and dealing with bs customer support. Well, I suppose smacking the machine will always be a solution.
Apparently Old Style is the only kind of beer that works for Verde’s Nintendo — perhaps it’s the weight, or the kind of metal in the can.
But I like to think it’s the smooth blend of choice hops and rich, premium barley.
