So I beat the Gradius game on gameboy called 'Nemesis' but I didn't get the end credits which is really weird. Just wondering, is it possible that a glitched cartridge can actually skip the credits to a game? I can't think of any other explanation. Has anything like this happened to you? Thx

The most I've had on glitches in cart games where levels wouldn't be displayed correctly or saves getting deleted. But its possible that if it tried to read the coding for credits failed it skipped it and start the game. Are you sure it had credits?

Did you try pulling the cartridge out and blowing into it? ;)

Give it a good cleaning and beat it again, might just be dirty contacts.

Try to avoid to blow on it and on all your cartridges. This is an urban legend that could fix it.

I would better advice to clean the contactors with Q-tip with alcohol.

If you lived through cartridges in the 80's, then you would know that blowing on cartridges is a scientifically proven method.

A Q-tip with alcohol is a much better solution but, who's got time for all that?

I have that game. Nemesis on the original game. The game just rolls over and continues until you use all of your lives. Other games do this like NES Sky shark and Strikers 1945 also roll over until all your lives are gone.
