haha nice 
And I think the whole blowing on your cartridge was just a trial-and-error thing along with word of mouth.

HAHAHAhahaha! That's just great. If this turns out real i will have to hunt for a NES system. I only have a N64 as the oldest that's still in one piece.
The whole blowing thing might have been a built in logic that everyone had if they had this. Blowing still works for the N64 game (Pokemon Snap) that didn't work right away lol. If only it would work on Disk Based games!

Gee thanks Google. Now I'm having Dragon Quest flashbacks.

Still fantastic though.

The thought process behind it...well in my mind...was that you were clearing dust from the connectors on the cartridge and cartidge slot (that was the second method of trying if just blowing on the cartridge didn't work). |

That's how I remember thinking it through in my young brain.
Of course I didn't experience that until later in life, instead I had to endure the Commadore +4 (the fancy business model of the Commadore 16) taking about 20 minutes to load a game from tape only to come back and find it had crashed midload while we were having dinner.

A real showstopper!
If you haven't already, look up some of the main Google offices around the world (inc. the GooglePlex, Mountain View, CA) for additional randomness...
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?

Goodbye, I guess.
