Manufacturer description
Cleaned and tested. New 72 pin connector installed as pictured. New pin connector can feel tight. You may need a firm grip to remove the game from the system. Games may or may not need to be pressed down in order to play. Cables are aftermarket but work just fine. Zapper gun only works on old school tube style TVs. Both games have been taken apart, cleaned and had their contacts polished with brite boy / isopropyl alcohol. Tamper proof stickers on every item included to prevent fraud and verify my product’s authenticity. If you have any questions please message me prior to purchasing. Thanks!
