Great game. Play the sequel.
I think sometimes loose noises may just be plastic tabs, but doesn’t hurt to check.
One thing you can try is DeoxIT. It’s a non-conductive corrosion cleaner than you can go nuts with on contacts.
It’s expensive, but this is enough to last you roughly forever unless you’re a hardcore electronics refurbisher (~1250 drops, you’ll use just a few at a time):

Update: SourceForge Link
Duuuuude. It’s literally one of the greatest games ever made. It’s not a strategy game though. It’s a space RPG/adventure with the same combat. It’s insane and it’s one of the biggest inspirations for Mass Effect.
Plus, the music is incredible. The Steam version lost permission for a few of the songs, but you can find it in SourceForge and I think you can get it with the original tracks.
I had no idea how good this game is. Worth the amount I thought I overpaid… I finally got it workin! took it apart and gave it a good clean. This game actually does not have a battery in it.
Excellent! Now play the sequel and come back to tell me how amazing it is.

Just adding on that I’ve found white eraser to also be very effective on contacts, altho getting the right size for the cart can be somewhat of an issue, depending. But they’re cheap, last a long time, and are very gentle on contacts. You might think of it as a first or second-line cleaning tool, before breaking out the DeoxIT.
