Does this work well on cartridges as well? If so i'm goin' buy me some goo gone & remove some stickers from my N64 game cartridges. Wut do any of you suggest i use to clean my carttridge itself without damaging it? Not inside the cartridge jus the outter of it. & wut should i use on my Q-Tip to clean the contacts with without damaging the game? Thanks, -Witeout

At the bottom of each cartridge. I would stay away from using Goo Gone on the actual contacts of the game. I'd stick to light rubbing alcohol or other stuff that's not as chemically reactive like Goo Gone. Quote: I wouldn't suggest using it on boxes I've used it on numerous boxes, none with any permanent damage or bad effects. Initially it might look like it leaves a wet stain on the box, but after a couple days and it fully dries - it looks fine with no remains.

Works like a dream for cleaning contacts and cartridges. It is very effective for removing permanent marker ink, sticker and glue residue from the cartridge as well. WARNING: do NOT use it to clean the label, it will quite literally eat away all the ink.

Yes yes... be very careful on labels. Earlier when I said I used it to clean boxes, it was on GLOSSY boxes with a shiny finish. Nothing that has direct ink printed on it.

Although goo gone might work but i'd like to go with the light rubbing alcohol. As for cleaning labels on the games, I don't buy any games with writing, damage, etc. to the labels cuz i'm not gonna spend my time cleaning the labels or even ruining them by trying to clean them, So i jus buy cartridges with clean labels to avoid having to clean them. I've jus purchased Stunt Racer 64 for 20$ & I'm about to purchase Worms Armageddon for 40$ Bad idea? or....???
