If you love these games how did they get flooded?
I think there is a special way to clean them but I don't know what it is. You may have to look it up.

Well, Nintendo made pretty durable products back in the cartridge days, so you could be OK. Hell, I remember reading a letter in Nintendo Power once where some kid accidentally lost his Gameboy outside in Alaska during the winter. After sitting out there for months on end, it was eventually recovered and to his amazement it still worked.
Your best bet would probably be to take a Q-tip dipped in alcohol and gently clean the slot at the bottom. I don't know for sure however. You might want to get someone knowledgeable about this sort of thing to take a look at it.

Clean them. Some can be salvageable.
ROMs are reasonably sturdy, so there's a good chance a lot of them are still ok under there.

so far the obviosly gone casualties include super mario rpg, donkey kong country 2, cool spot, pac man 2 adventures, street racer, bonkers, aladin, lion king, donkey kong country 3, super gameboy, and army men. i have them all being dried by a fan. after their dry im gonna attempt to clean with a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol. sadly super mario rpg looks like it got the worst of it 
idk how this happened i just played them about a month ago.

I heard the same story in Britain, a kid lost his gameboy advance in the fall, and found it agian under snow and ice as the stuff was melting! And it still worked fine after he dried it out!Neverhoodian said:
You could be ok OP, though I wouldnt get your hopes up too high. Try cleaning the slot very gently, and they might still be ok.
