creepsthething | 9 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 If anybody wants it, there's a loose copy of Donkey Kong Land 2 (DMG-ADDE-USA-2) that's out and about. I'm already a proud owner of this cartridge variant. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Donkey-Kong-Land-2-Nintendo-Game-Boy-1996/383781735270?epid=2304&hash=item595b2c8b66:g:ZwEAAOSwn9JflwwB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,903 Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Yeeeeaaaah, I probably have quite a few now that I need to update. All of these 2-line, 3-line versions are adding up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsamsamsmasmasma | 16 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I finally picked up the championship boxing 2-player logo variant. Should we count this as an error variant? It seems the logo refers to 1-player/2-player capability so if the game was always 1 player then it must have been released accidently with the 2-player logo. Thanks for sharing the tennis variant as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVOSS | 1,762 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 yes the logo variant is only for 2 player games so far. however there is another at least 2 more variants i'm confirming and it has to do with PC. so this will get messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boxing game is a 1 player game though. That's why I'm wondering if its the only one that counts as an error as opposed to the other variants that are just updated logos.

It's weird that the more prevalent variant is the single player logo. Do the date codes show that the 2 player logo version came out after?

I only have the R so the chip date code is 9842. i have not yet cataloged the PCB date. however the TM 1 player version is should have a code from early 1990 to late 1990 HCB released May 18, 1990 Game Boy trade marked November 13, 1990 So this means any game before November 13, 1990 is fare game for the TM/R for Game Boy down the side. anyone have a Month Day, Year release date for games? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samsamsamsmasmasma | 16 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) There are two of the tennis variants listed on mercari if anyone is interested. Both are part of small lots but not too overly priced. https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m48820038846/?iv_code=CFXYDQ&object_id=m48820038846&object_type=item *edit the second listing was not the USA version Edited January 4, 2021 by samsamsamsmasmasma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samsamsamsmasmasma | 16 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Here's my count Bill and Ted (LJN logo no color) Ducktales (DMT mispelling should be DMG) Qbillion (black Nintendo logo) Princess Blobette (missing 1 dash in serial number) Tetris (missing both dashes in serial number) Heavyweight championship boxing(1-player logo error) Could make the argument that space invaders as well as wario blast are errors because they have the -1 revision when they are the initial release Edited January 4, 2021 by samsamsamsmasmasma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
