Time passes, but the passion for classic gaming lives on.
If you own a Game Boy , a Nintendo 64 , or a Super Nintendo , you'll know how important it is to keep them in good condition.
From MartZ Gaming , we give you 5 quick tips to keep your retro consoles looking like new:
🎮 1. Store them in cool, dry places
-
Avoid moisture, which can oxidize internal contacts.
-
Do not expose them to direct sunlight (it causes the plastics to yellow).
🎮 2. Use protective cases or boxes
-
Store your consoles in padded cases.
-
Even better if you have the original boxes.
🎮 3. Regular (but gentle) cleaning
-
Use microfiber cloths to clean dust.
-
For connectors, cotton swabs slightly moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
(Never use aggressive products.)
🎮 4. Don't leave batteries in
-
If you are going to store a Game Boy or similar for a long time, take out the batteries .
-
You will avoid leaks and corrosion that can destroy the system.
🎮 5. Turn them on from time to time

Turn on your consoles every so often.

This helps keep components active and prevents future failures.
