Genesis game freezing? is it a sign of a bad game or bad system?

[Gameguy]

i inserted and took the game out when it was still wet yes, but i didnt let it dry.

taking the game in and out when its wet is supposed to clean the system is it not? and about not letting it dry i let it sit for like 5 minutes? or are you giving me shit over something else.

Noooooo!!

You're only supposed to use a liquid to clean the cartridge contacts, never for system contacts. Even with actual cleaning kits made by any company it says this on the packaging, for any system it's always the same thing. Since you don't have a cleaning kit use a clean dry cart, and try to clean it again.

After cleaning a cart, always make sure it's completely dry before putting it in a system. Try to dry it with a dry Qtip, don't just let it air dry while it's soaking wet. After you dry it with a Qtip, then wait a bit to make sure it's fully dry.
