   Atari 2600 cartridge problem

   Ok, I know this echo is for computers, but I figure the old Atari 2600 stuff    
   kind of fits here too.. sort of.. :)   
      
   I picked up 3 games carts at the used game store last week... One works    
   fine from what I can tell, Space Shuttle, but got to find a manual for it,    
   I'm sure that won't be too hard.   
      
      
   The other two aren't so hot..   
      
      
   Sky Jinx International Edition, needs to be pulled out slightly to work...    
   Is the International Edition something special??   
      
      
   And Star Wars Jedi Area just scrolls fast when I turn it on.   
      
      
   I've cleaned all the carts.  rubbing alcohol first, then the two that are    
   having trouble with contact cleaner on a cotton swab.  In fact Sky Jinx    
   didn't start at all until I had at it with contact cleaner..  But that isn't    
   helping Jedi Arena.. :?   I'll give  them both another shot of contact    
   cleaner and cotton swab later, but was wondering if anybody had any thoughts    
   on the scroll issue?   
      
      
   thanks
