"I have a personal NES collection of over 100 carts. All of them were stored in a garage for several years before I decided to bring them back to life. 
Previously, I had purchased a NES screwdriver, and used several Q-tips and metal polish to remove all of the old rust/crust from the contacts. I literally just opened the package that arrived from you guys and put one to the test.
I took several games that were not working, and used the same 1-Up Card and the same dab of alcohol to clean and test 5 games, including 1 Tengen cart and 1 Quattro Adventure cart. 
Holy $#!%! I am blown away. What would have taken me 5-10 minutes per cart now only took 30 seconds. This is an amazing find. Please, please keep up the good work guys! Thank you!" -Andrew

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Great product for keeping your retro systems working. Makes me feel nice knowing that this is specially designed for the task." -Ben B.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"No More Cotton Swabs! Most of my NES games were pretty clean, but with just a little isopropyl alcohol on the wet end and buffing with the dry end, these pins were gleaming, it's pretty incredible. The games that I had that I thought were dead started up right away (I'm using the NES AVS from retrousb btw). No more cotton swabs for me, that's for sure." -Jim

"This product literally saved three seemingly-non-working SNES games from the scrap heap. It takes a total of ten seconds to clean and dry each game and, most importantly, it works!!!" -Chaz

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I received my 1UP card today.  I must say I am VERY impressed! What a great product! As a retro gamer one of the most difficult things to judge is whether a newly purchased game is clean enough to go into my console. Your product is perfect for cleaning any game cart (except Gameboy). As someone who constantly opens carts to repair them this is a nice alternative. It is perfect for buffing up the contacts of clean games that I haven't played in a while. I will definitely be recommending this to all of my retro gaming friends!" -John

"I got my cleaning cards a few days ago and used one to clean up a famicom cartridge i got off ebay...OMG thank you for making a cartridge cleaner that actually works" -Daniel

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well, I wasn't sure if this would work for me. I rescued this old Nintendo after it had been stuffed in a dusty closet for at least 15 years. Mind you, this closet is in the deep south (coast of Alabama) where humidity is rampant. To top it all off, it was mostly used by my three brothers, so, not only was it never cleaned (aside from blowing into the cartridges), but it was not handled gently in any sense of the word.

I got it set up last week and found nothing but a blinking red light and blue screen to greet me. Nothing I did could remedy it, so I was certain I would need to replace the 72 pin connector. I found your kit by accident while searching, and I honestly thought there was very little chance it could work.

Well, it took many tries with both your console card and your cartridge cleaner, but it is now working pretty well. There is still some adjusting that I have to do here and there, but my children are really enjoying the classic games. I really appreciate your fast shipping and the rather simple solution to reviving this game console! -Anne Marie

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Hey guys! So to all you retro games out there trying to revive your old cartridges, this is a great place to start!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"The design is super straight forward, and makes it easy to understand how to clean the connectors without damaging them. The sizing is great, and the whole thing also it looks cool too! I totally recommend this product!" -Derrick

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"It worked well for N64 games. You can either use it to clean the contacts while the came is intact or you can take the case off the game and use the product to provide a better clean of the game contacts. It would be nice to have an item to clean the consol contacts as well. But this item is very good and exceeded my expectations It is way better than qtips." -Andrew

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Does a real nice job and gets all the dust, dirt, and grime off of old games. This product works very well and after cleaning my Super Mario Bros. game. I not only saw brighter picture, but the sound became much clearer. I just wish I could find this at stores. A game store wanted me to pay 20+ dollars just for them to clean 2 games." –Hunter

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Excellent product. I've used it to clean Neo Geo MVS cartridges and Genesis cartridges. Should work great on NES and SNES carts also. Contact pins are clean as new." -Tyson

"I purchased this because I recently set up my retro station. I noticed some of the contacts on the game cartridges were dirty after a few years of sitting in a closet, so I purchased this 1-up card to clean them up. It's insanely easy to use. It comes with a solution of 99% alcohol that you drip onto the 'wet side' of the card and the thickness of the pad ensures that it is always pressed firmly to the contacts. Once you scrub the contacts, you just flip it around and dry them off with the other side of the card. It takes all of 30 seconds. Rinse and repeat for each game and you have yourself a perfectly clean game. Your alternative is using a q-tip and that's no fun." -Derek

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Works well on my nes games :)" -Kamen

Pete from 8-Bit Central: 

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Used a q-tip for years and always had to pick the fuzz off of the contacts, this fixes that issue. Card cleans well and leaves nothing behind, works exactly as advertised!" -Adam

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I received my Game Cleaning Kit recently and I love it. The picture size is a little confusing, but it's size makes it easy to clean the game cartridges. I have already cleaned a few Nintendo 64 and NES game cartridges, and now they work great. The wet and dry sides makes it really convenient for me to clean the game cartridges then dry them. Love the nostalgia of being able to play my old games again." -Ry

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Glad someone out there is making new cleaning kits. Now if only everyone knew that the old 72 pin connectors are superior to aftermarket pins... and that the so-called "Blinking Red Light of Death" should really be called "The Blinking Read Light of Give Me A Quick Cleaning." There is just no need for aftermarket pins if you know how to clean and maintain your console. And the new pins are terrible anyway, you practically have to take the games out with pliers with those pins installed."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"You guys are awesome! I found you through Google search when I bought the 1up card and it worked miracles. Sending everyone I know your way. Thanks!" -Justice

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I bought millipede off of someone and the game would not work. It was very grainy and had lots of pixels missing. I was sad because I really wanted to play the game. I bought this stuff and it immediately worked. I am so happy. This stuff saved my game! Totally recommend it!" -James

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Works perfect for snes games." -Dominic

"These things are just stupid good. Can't praise them enough. Rarely a game they can't fix." - Samson

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Easier than q-tips. I used these to clean up my Atari games and they all work perfectly now. Easily fits all my cartridges." -Audra 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Works great for cleaning old Nintendo and Super Nintendo cartridges. I've also used it to clean Master System, Genesis, N64, and Game Boy cartridges, and the Game Boy cartridges are the only ones that really have any issue with fitting, but that's not really a fault of the 1 Up Card, as the cartridges are so tiny in the first place. You could always use cotton swabs instead, but this is an elegant way to clean your old games." -Brian A

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Product as described, works well / great in saving time cleaning NES, SNES, and N64 carts. Don't waste time with Q-tips that leave fuzz behind, this product is the ONLY way to go if you're not going to take the time to take the cart apart and hand polish with brass polish. Thanks!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After I clean my system with this I like to clean the 1 Up Card with a q-tip and a bit of water. It takes all the crud off of the card so you aren't putting it back in the system when cleaning it again." - Dev

 

A detailed and helpful review from a satisfied 1UPcard customer:

1) How did you come across the 1UPcard?

"I think I'm remembering correctly: I first learned of the 1UPcard through Instagram. They posted an image with a very positive caption about cleaning hundreds of video games with the card. I'd just picked up 300 NES cartridges from my childhood home and every time I'd clean any of them I would start to feel guilty about how many cotton swabs I was burning through, so I decided this could be a good alternative.

2) Did you get what you were expecting?

Absolutely! I had been using cotton swabs and contact cleaner to clean my old games before. Compared to that, the 1UPcard was equally effective while being a lot easier to use, with less waste and without needing to use chemicals with worryingly long warning labels.

Overall, I'm extremely happy with the 1UPcard! I will definitely be picking up more as I work my way through my old games, and have already recommended it to friends who have rediscovered old systems and tried to start restoring them.

Thank you so much!
