Can't get a card game to work

[tap]

I bought a copy of Bank Panic off of eBay recently, and it looked to be in pretty good shape, but I can't get it to work. I've tried cleaning it multiple times with q-tips and rubbing alcohol. I've tried testing it on multiple systems (2 SMS consoles and a Genesis with PBC), but every time I boot it up I get a message saying "Software Error" (except on the Genesis, that just give me a blank black screen).



I'm using US systems to play a European game, but is that a problem? It's never been an issue with other Euro games.



What else can I do to try to get this thing working? I really don't want to have send it back all the way to Europe. That would really, really suck.

Yeah I've had a similar experience with a few card games. I've had to clean them thoroughly with rubbing alcohol and putting them in several times, sometimes not pushing them all the way in the slot to make them work. Eventually I've been lucky enough to get them running in the end.

I use isopropryl to clean all my cart contacts, give that a go.

That's what I've been using.

Looks like I've got a broken game.
