    My first suggestion would be to clean all the contacts, including the ones on your Genesis and Power Base Converter. If that doesn't work, do you have a spare SMS or Game Gear with SMS converter?
    Don't go away mad....just go away!

    I have cleaned the cartridge, Genesis and Power Base Converter as suggested, and it is still playing with no sound (music and effects). Unfortunately, my Game Gear is no longer working (auto shut-off and tinny sound), so I cannot test it with SMS converter.

    It is strange that it is the only game to malfunction after all these years. Maybe it is best for me to just buy a replacement cart instead.

    I've heard that sometimes the capacitors in the Power Base Converter can go bad and cause glitches with some games. Maybe that's what happened, though to be sure you'd have to try the same game with another Power Base Converter.
