Playing Game Hints

I’m in the cabin with the beagle. I’ve turned on the video game system, which doesn’t work correctly. I’ve tried moving the carpet, to no avail.

The walk-through suggests that I move the TV, but the narrator says it’s “fine where it is.”

Is this a bug or am I not understanding the walk-through?

Have you tried fixing the cartridge the old-fashioned way?

In particular (explicit hint), have you tried blowing on the cartridge before putting it in?

Thanks. That worked.

Peculiar game, isn’t it?
