Hey there. I was directed to your video through an Instructable on NES cleaning with a Q-Tip and Windex. I'm a little leery about using Q-Tips for fear of leaving behind little bits of fuzz and I'm not sure what it is about the Windex that would clean off corrosion. What are your thoughts on cleaning games?

I probably wouldn't use windex. That's an ammonia based cleaner diluted with water and dyes. A #2 pencil Ruby Red Eraser is the recommended tool for cleaning the "golden fingers" on the game's edge connectors. Any thing more aggressive than that will only remove the gold electroplate, exposing the copper which will corrode much faster. 95% isopropyl alcohol will wash away grease and wax deposits.
