So, I tried asking this question on Reddit, and all I got back were trolls and unserious replies. 😒
So, does anyone know how I can remove the sticker residue on these games without accidentally rubbing the factory codes off?

Oil on q tips or cotton balls. You're going to be dabbing a little bit of oil on the adhesive and paper in order to loosen the adhesive and then rub your fingers on the paper. Try not to get any on the contacts as I'm not sure what that'll do. After the stickers are removed you can clean the whole cart with some 90% isopropyl alcohol on a rag to remove the oil.
