Game never played in a Game Boy and its grey without label. Put in a Game Boy Color, 'Resident Evil: Gaiden'!

[Joyomofrobro | 207]

Me and a market friend couldn't agree on a fair price for a label-less game. It didn't play in an original Game Boy, has a number on it. He gifted it to me five years ago on that day, I had it wrapped for the holiday. This picture shows the game had no label so I created this image that shows in way all I can explain never seen any game with a number on it and it is playable!

Can't believe this strange addition of a game made it to my collection I've been holding for good!

Yep, that's a bootleg of a GBC game, put into a grey shell. If the shell looks OEM, then it's taken from a legit game and the label is peeled off. Definitely an odd piece for any collection! It's generally considered an "ok" game.

I was wondering if anybody knows why a sort of number is on the circuit? My friend says it could be out of development!

You are probably right at least it was free to me I have no others like so wondered!

Yes it's a prototype cartridge, SH053 means Silent Hill and 053 is the code of the Tecmo employee no. 53 who made the cartridge at the Sega factory, where Resident Evil Gaiden was being developed.

I only came here because I saw Silent Hill and prototype in the description.

Super amazed holy grail type item if actual prototype was hoping for news like this kept hope in the collection 5 years now!

This is a photo for all to see when I had it apart for a picture I was thinking I got lucky all along!!

Do you always end your sentences/posts with exclamation points? Are you really that excited about having a Resident Evil Gaiden bootleg?

I usually end whatever with a explanation point paragraphs mostly!

Lies. You have 4 or 5 sentences in each post and you don't end them with any punctuation at all.

Now now maybe he's a writer for engrish.com

I'm more irked by the fact each image is laid out like the PCB is set up the way it came out of the plastic shell.  Good luck having a system read it that way.  I'd have been more happy had it been a real proto of like resident evil since that never made it.

Looks cool! Thanks for sharing!
