That said, when you upload images, they get compressed for viewing on the forum, so if it's the case that you're posting ~5mb images one at a time, I might suggest uploading smaller images instead so you can do multiple at once. Alternatively you can use a service like IMGUR, which would allow you to add as many images as you like to your post. Wow I just assumed it did not compress the pics. Thank you for the info! I am legit new to this forum and did not know I seen 3.9mb per pic and thought well looks to be one at a time -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetris is one of the harder cart to see the TM on the OSQ. but it is there. you might have to move it around in good lighting. the one i have is more like a blob but compared to the (R) it is easy to see... as your board is the earliest board i would make the claim that someone did a switch if you see the (R) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to get a pic with a magnifier lens... it is was not fun holding and taking a pic lol but I do not see any R or evidence of any tampering. I got this with the Gameboy while growing up and well... I wish I still had the black bag with all of my games But their is no R so??? Pic without lens. And I do not see any evidence of a R or TM...

And I do not see any evidence of a R or TM... yep the offset printing on some of the carts are just horrific this is one example of bad printing. for referencing for later viewing. the tm is located just to the right of the "y" in Quality on the outside of the star. sometimes the location will be very visible. like this.. your tetris will be more like the one on the left... but some time all you will see is the very very very very very very faint outlining of the circle in (R).

JVOSS | 1,762 Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 if you play around with the magifine glass and light you might get a view of the "GOLD" blob that look like horizontal line or the "TM"... the (R) you would more then likely see the R only or a blob that is vertical. my camera is can get good enough pic but one ebay there are some good examples of the "R" so you can use that as a reference... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took glasses off and got close to my eye with lens. It is their but can not make it out aside for it is bigger then a single letter! lol So this is a TM variant. The positioning is bad as it is in the dark area of the . . . I think its the Rhode Island Z . . . Not 100% sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,903 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 45 minutes ago, Ulrizza said: It may be a simple misprint or maybe the dash has been erased with time Well, if you go back and slog through this thread, I always speculated that the no-dashes were print errors. The text was already thin and I kind of assumed when the ink was running a bit thin, those lines simply didn't print on the no-dash variants. That wouldn't fit this copy though. Clearly, there's one dash, but not the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,903 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 17 minutes ago, JVOSS said: Ok, wait a second. Is that the original one that started the discussions from years ago? I recall that the label looked to be damaged on one corner so it was assumed it was a a label swap. Yours does have label damage but not in a corner, which is typical of someone trying to remove the label to put it on another cartridge. This thing might be for real?! If it is, I wonder if these were NFRs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
