Of all the systems I've owned, only the NES gave me trouble. It technically wasn't broken, but after a few years of ownership, it would sometimes take a 20 minute ritual of blowing into the cartridge, and playing with the Power and Reset buttons to get a game to properly start.

Same here.  The NES was an absolute pain in the ass.  I felt like a member of the bomb squad when I changed carts, trying to get it exactly right.  That could be beyond frustating.
