Also (you probably already did but) you can try cleaning the games more, an NES and a clone are different in where the pins connect at so the pins might be clean where they connect to the clone and not so clean where they connect to the NES.

If it was put together wrong or a pin problem, wouldn't it do it with every game? Worked flawlessly at the store -- I'm beginning to think the games just need more cleaning...maybe some alcohol or something.
The TV is fairly older. It's a CRT. I don't bother with flat screen TVs if I don't have to.
