if blowing in the slot doesn't work try an air compressor. If that doesn't work, buy some electrical contact cleaner and spray the contacts in the game cartridge, then wipe with a q-tip and allow to dry. Do the same with the snes, just make sure it's unplugged and has enough time to dry. Doing this should make things work, if not then something inside has broken.

It's common in our family. Blowing inside of the cartridge area works well, and placing the game in at a straight angle, and sometimes being a bit rough. If not, blow inside the console. If still nothing, ask Nintendo. they have useful free numbers.

gaming consoles before 2001 (ps2) werent designed to last more then a decade. the ps3 however is designed to be more advanced then any console for 10 years. and the nintendo wii is cheap and good for about 7 years and the xbox 360 is good for about 5 years and the xbox/ps2 will be obsolete in 3 more years when something new comes out. after there is 2 sequals to a game it is obsolete. yeah you can buy a retro release super nintendo on ebay but its gonna cost a pretty penny.

I STRONGLY AGREE WITH LEA.
I have an SNES myself and the way you clean the cartridges is to get a q-tip, dip it alcohol and rub it on the outer part of the cartridge. Then wait ten-fifteen minutes for it to dry (make sure it is shiny). DO NOT BLOW ON IT. that causes moisture from your breath to seep into the protected part of the chip. But the alcohol thing should work like a charm. :]

basically what i do is blow in the game and blow in the machine both pretty hard, and see if that works, i also turn the system on like 3 times to see if it works. if not i hit the machine a little and then it usually works.

I have just the thing for you. Just use a little rubbing alcohol on your q-tip when you clean it, and let it dry for about 15 minutes and it should be alright, if not repeat the same thing. I am a big fan of Nintendo my self. I hope you got that killer instinct for your game, if not, PLEASE GET IT........
