Cleaning the games doesn't typically help with video output issues unless you're talking about graphical "glitches" that could be the product of the 72 pin connection not completing properly to transmit data. But "wavy lines" sounds like a video output issue.

Again, try a different TV and see what happens.

I also tried with both the composite cables and an RF cable, and they were both giving this problem - though if it was a problem with the TV "liking" the NES, that would make sense, wouldn't it?




As for more games using more pins than others (like the other guy was saying), the game I tried it with in the store didn't have pins all along the bottom of the cart (DK classics) and both of mine that I tried (SMB and Elevator Action) did, so that also makes sense...
