Do you have more information on the "DMG TR USA" without the dashes?

I never heard of it before and wonder if it's like the first release?

Thanks

What a coincidence @Nintegageo I also just finished Wario

To have the planet I think you need 90000+ but I'm not sure

@Tanooki I'm sure you can find other details in the sticker to differenciate them but IMO the ones that I listed are the most obvious, you just need to be patient because sometime multiple 1.0 pops on eBay in less than a month, and sometimes there are none in multiple months!

What are all the tells on the original one anyway other than those stamp codes?  I've read somewhere in the past the sticker art is slightly off from later copies with the standard music-A.

I invite you to check this link to see the differences in the ROM: https://tcrf.net/Tetris_(Game_Boy).

For the sticker, there is 2 parts that are relatively easy to differentiate between 1.0 and 1.1:

• The ball on the top of the the Kremlin is right below the 2 "L" of the word "ALL" for 1.0, and nearly touch the "R" of the word "RIGHTS" for 1.1
• The "MADE IN JAPAN" at the bottom right is nearly perfectly aligned with the background lines for 1.0 and not at all for 1.1

Here is a precise image where you can easily see the differences I listed above:

Easy, right?

Beautiful 

I'd love to have this one for a low price one day, but it's easy to spot so I think it'll be hard.
Right now I'm looking for the Minuet box, but they are rare and in 4 month of refreshing eBay every few hours of my awake time I've never found one (not listed as Minuet of course).

 

@MegaMan52 so there is one that popped recently on eBay... waaaaay too expensive for me

I'm familiar with this, due to my interest in imports. I've got a boxed copy with a Link Cable. Box says "DMG-TRAT" instead of "DMG-TRA".

I bought most of them on eBay from Japan.
TBH they are relatively easy to spot when you know the label differences, you just have to buy them quickly because they don't stay long 

I'll PM you 

I agree with you, I've seen different production numbers for it and since I managed to find 10 of them in about 4 month, I think there is more than people believe!

the newest game for the MEGA WORLD COLLECTION.  As of 7-13-2021 it's the second one to be seen.  the other owner is the EPIC collector @NeXmetal

i have to clean and re-photo but here it is in the pre-cleanup...

 

I'm so jealous!!! I think I saw it on eBay, is it where you bought it?
Anyway, BRAVO for this pickup 

Hi Guys!

One of my collecting goals is to have all the Tetris Minuet cartridges with different imprints.
AFAIK, this cartridge exist with only 4 imprints: 23, 20, 09 and 05.
Edit: @JVOSS theorized that 07 and 28 may also exist!

I presume that you are familiar with this special Tetris.
If not, you can easily find a lot on info online by searching "Tetris Minuet" or "Tetris 1.0".
Here is a link to the Cutting Room Floor website where the game differences are well explained: https://tcrf.net/Tetris_(Game_Boy).

I'll let you know when I found the missing one!

Update:
I finally found the 4 cartridges that I wanted: 23, 20, 09 and 05

I'm now happy with those 4 games and will stop searching for more.

If someone happens to found (have) one of the Minuet carts that @JVOSS theorized existed (07 or 28), please let me know 

Hi @PrimeNL, I'm also collecting PAL GB games 

I'd rather say that I'm looking for PAL GB cartridges because I only collect the carts (FAH, EUR, FRA...) and don't care about the boxes or booklets 

Anyway, thanks to this topic I've made some fixes to my list, which boosted my completion percentage from 52,5% to 53,2%

I have 2 more games on my list that you are missing:

• Bamse (I don' have it but you can find DMG-A6-SCN images online)
• We’re Back: A Dinosaur’s Story (I don' have it either but you can find DMG-A6-ITA images online)

If you still had doubts about Super Off Road, I have a DMG-OR-FRG cartridge, I can take a pic of of it if you want 

Thanks @sp1nz I'll check this list out and compare it with mine!

I Have Mickey Mouse, Hugo 2 but not Hugo! I need to find it now to see that with my own eyes 

Thanks @sp1nz for your detailed answer and the links, very interesting 

I recently added this game to my collection but can't find any info on Korean Game Boy games online, so I'll ask you guys!
(I'll post it in working list of GB KOR games, but don't want to pollute the thread with my questions )

First, a picture of my Tetris:

Now all of my questions:

• GB Korean games are from south Korea right?
• Do we know how many copies of this game there is? (I know it's rare, but I'd like to know if it's 1 out of 100 rare or 1 out of 100.000 rare)
• I haven't found any on sale right know, do you have an idea of its value? (There are currently 4 GB KOR games on sale on eBay, all >750€, which is crazy expensive!)
• Why there is so few Korean GB games? Do they started the production and suddenly stopped?

Thanks 

Thanks all 

@DoctorEncore I'll check the forum and will definitely post some stuff
Concerning the pizzas, I usually I have ham, cheese and goat cheese and that's it! I also like them Calzone style!

Hello

I started collecting games around 3 years ago, mostly Game Boy games because I'm grinding for the European full set but I followed the white rabbit down the memory lane and now I'm collecting about anything that I'd like to have

I also love to repair old systems, it's extremely interesting and I always enjoy saving a console from being thrown in the garbage and giving it a second life

(I'm describing my reparations on a blog, but it's in French so I'm not sure it could be interesting to post the link ) 

So I'm here for multiple reasons:

1. I recently bought a game for which I don't find any info online, so I will create a new topic for it in the right section of this forum and hoping someone here could enlighten me
2. My main motivation for collecting is to preserve those old games that are more and more rare. I'd like to share what I have but I haven't found the right way to do it yet, I'll also make a topic for this subject later!
3. As I said, I'd like to have every Game Boy game released in Europe. I'm currently at 52,5% of the full set... or am I? Since there is no official list, I'd like to see if the list I have is complete, comparing it with others fellow GB collectors
4. I don't have much friends that share this passion, so I'm a little bit frustrated not being able to share and talk about it. Maybe this is the right place to do it

And what about the pizzas you'll ask? I just really like pizzas My girlfriend gave me a pizza oven for my 30th birthday: best.gift.ever. I eat at least 1 pizza per week

See you guys around the forum
