Anyone ever find something inside NES carts?

I've heard stories about people finding stuff on the bottom compartment of the NES but I was wondering, has anyone ever found something inside a NES cart when opening it? Since it's mostly wasted space I imagine it would be a great hiding place for money, important papers,..........drugs. I know the odds are extremely slim and probably have a better chance of winning the lottery as most games need a 3.8 mm bit which most people didn't have but I was just wondering.

  • The more likely candidates for this are the early games, that had flathead screws.

     yea but they wouldn't have had to have been in the cart long to do that.  They are the right kind of bills though, and getting 50 of them as claimed (Looks a little short to me) around the time he found this would be pretty tough.



    Edit: Guess I should point out thoese are pre-1996 bills, he found them in 2012, so they have been gone for a while
  • I found a small postcard from a vet telling the person their cat was due for a checkup inside a snes game. Makes me sad thinking bout it, cats likely dead now since it was dated 1994
  • I found a whole colony of some type of insect inside a shatterhand cartridge. It was all dead carcasses and old feces. And it reeked. Still got it to work. Still plays fine.

    Found a colony of dead cockroaches inside a SNES Game Genie. I tried everything I could think of to restore it but the board was so layered with funk and the smell was so terrible that I just didn't dare try to actually hook it up. I was afraid of what it might do to the SNES and/or the game.

    Well, at least you could flip that and get your money back, right?



    I found a hunk of petrified peanut butter cup in an old NES controller. Other than that, it's mostly just the usual insects and insect parts. I did recently find a non-functioning Legend of Zelda board in a copy of Duck Hunt.

  • I found a few carts in the past with security stickers on the inside. Pretty neat way to hide them.
