Hard to say with those symptoms. The most common problem I've seen is bad RAM.

Have you sanded and cleaned the contacts on the system cartridge slot and the games themselves? Use fine grain sandpaper a few strokes back and forth on the carts, and an old credit card to push it down into the system cartridge port. Next, use 91% isopropyl alcohol on the system and cartridge contacts and you should see black residue on the cotton swabs (will probably have to use a thin cotton cloth stretched over the credit card to get down into the console's cartridge slot). Afterward, your problem should be solved.
