QUICK question - How do I open my Game Gear Cartridge? Simple ?

[Apocalypse612]

I got the screw off, and as stupid as it sounds I cant get the part opened up. Its like stuck or something, I don't know! Is it supposed to slide off? I'm trying to open it and rub it down with alcohol to clean it and hopefully get my Asterix to work. Please help

Slide the backside down a bit, and then it'll lift off. It only slides down about an inch. It can be quite stubborn.

I'll be back in this thread later, and edit this message to not sound like an innuendo.

Finally figured it out, really feel like a moron to be honest. They made these things troublesome. Unfortunatly it didn't matter, I cleaned the whole board with Alchohol and scrubbed it with an eraser on the contacts, didn't matter. Game will not start. I'm rather sad, I really miss playing Asterix: The great rescue. All my other games work, really sad . Thanks for response Betawolf

Don't forget to clean the Game Gear itself. That cartridge slot catches a lot of dust.
