I recently bought a ton of nintendo 64 carts. so I open the package and im like what the **** is that smell. it reeked bad. took me a few minutes but then I figured out it was cig smoke. you can smell it from like 10 feet away.

is there any way to get rid of that nastyness. do you smoke while you game?

try some of that deodorizing spray stuff, neutra air, but not directly on the cartridges or course... or take up smoking so you can't tell...

I used to smoke alot, but I'm trying to quit for like the 100th time. Anyways, you could try rubbing alchohol(sp?) on it.

i have never experienced such a thing with my N64 games. perhaps the original owners are responsible for this.

I hate it when that happens. I bought a super nintendo and when I opened it, it smelled like smoke and so did all the games and controllers which was not listed in the auction. but after awhile it went away cause no one else I bring over notices it so just let them sit or try fabreeze or something

Put a big glass of vinegar in the box with the games, it will remove the smell and replace it with... vinegar-smell >.>

But at least vinegar-smell goes away after a while, smoke doesn't.

I bought Indiana Jones for N64 off of eBay and it reeked of cigarettes too, but I don't really know about how to get rid of it. I haven't smelled it in a few years, so maybe by now the stink has gone away. If that's the case, just let the carts air out for a few years lol.
