Hey everyone,
I was recently the winner of an Ebay Auction for a US "Art Of Fighting", the seller's ID is "phmatt24". Anyways I got the game yesterday, happy to have finally gotten it in my hands since I had meant to add to my Neo Collection ages ago.
The condition of the inserts,instructions and cart were pretty good, they showed some minor wear but it all seemed fine.
When I proceeded to place the game in my Neo system, the game's screens suffered from blockiness, weird colors etc. At first I attempted the wiggle method but it refused to work. Thinking the cart might be dusty, I tried to blow air on it and even tried the newly learned eraser cleaning technique(special mention goes out to lump505 & Nick_Th_Fury). But still after many attempts the cart refused to work! All the images kept looking like either old Atari 2600 games or fuzzy.
After examining the cart more closely, I found that the cart seemed loose. I also recalled that the seller did not package the game very well at all. It was delivered in a big priority mail envelope bag, not a box. Could it be that the poor AOF cart sustained extensive damage during its delivery because of the poor packaging? And because of that it does not work? Still before contacting the seller about the situation, I wondered if any of you had some suggestions or opinions of what I could try to do to get it to work properly.
Help someone, please!!!
