So i decided to make a new topic, because the older ones where full /
incomplete or just messy, and this way I could start over from page
1
This thread is all about the different types and colours of gameboy
carts or add-ons. It's far from complete, but it's a good
start.
------------------
NOTE: THIS GUIDE IS
FAR FROM COMPLETE NOW, I KNOW. IT'S A WORK IN
PROGRESS
------------------
We'll start with everything that'll
fit into the DMG...
Official Gameboy
Games
Grey
Just your normal cart. most of the
games have this one.
here featured: kirbey's block ball. Nothing special
here.
Black
Black carts where used for gameboy
colour games that also could be played on the DMG. examples: zelda DX, Tetris
DX.
Black carts where also used for the pokemon trading card game. (as well
as a lot more japanese games, I came to find out later)
Red
Used for pokemon
red.
Blue
Used for pokemon
blue
Yellow
Used for pokemon yellow and at
least 2 donkey kong land games and the Tamagotchi yellow
game.
Silver (grey
with sprinkles)
Used for pokemon silver. Is a grey
cart with some glitters
Gold
Used for... you guessed it, Pokemon
gold! It's gold coloured with gold coloured golden
sparkles.*
Grey & Blue
The japanese versions of pokemon
Gold & Silver where both half blue, half grey. both slightly darker than the
normal grey and the pokemo blue cart. (pokemon silver has a grey front and a
blue back, pokemon gold vice versa)
White
The white cart was used for the
white edition of the tamagotchi game, and also as a blank memory cart, GBメモリ.
These carts could be loaded with games at special stores.
Pink!
OMG! it's like.. Pink! (and it has
a tamagotchi game on it). On the right is a 'power rangers the movie' game, also
in a pink cart. Probably the same pink as the tamagotchi one, but not 100% sure.
The pink carts where used by Bandai, and might be used for more games
than these two..
Light
blue
This is a tamagotchi game with added
sound module. The sound thingy wakes you up in the middle of the night when your
tamagotchi is hungry, even if your gameboy is turned off...
Black with Rumblepack
Pokemon pinball has a rumblepack on
top of the gamecart. It vibrates and stuff.
Gameboy Camera
Came in Yellow, Blue , Green and
Red. Japanese version also had a transparent purple one.
The Japanese versions had
different software (including Trippy-H, a musical game) and a different name.
They where called Pocket Camera.
Front of a Japanese
Camera
Front of a American / European /
anywhere else camera.
Notice the different name on the
stickers.
Gameboy color games that'll fit into a
DMG
Transparent
Pink
Kirby Tilt n Tumble game.. although
it's a gameboy colour game, it does have a notch for DMGs.
Dark Blue
Dark blue normal DMG cart with
Action Man game. Will fit in a DMG but only displays a note saying you can only
play it on the GBC. The shade of blue might be the same as the dark blue from
the japanese pokemon gold/silver, but i've got no way of checking that
now.
Green
Same story as the Action Man game.
This time it's Super Mario Bros. Deluxe in a green DMG game casing. Also a color
game. It's kinda hard to see what shade of green it is, but it's green, and
that's what counts.
Transparent
with Rumblepack
Star Wars racinggame with rublepack.
Will fit into a DMG but is a GBC game
Unofficial
/ bootleg / etc
Dark
green
Bootleg edition of pokemon green.
Grey
Bootleg games, doesn't say nintendo
gameboy on the cart, just GAME, which is kinda funny.
read / see more
here
Grey,
XL
Big Ass gamecart. With 150 games on
it. Some bootleg carts where a bit bigger to put more games on it, I guess...
Looks silly.
This one also has a reset button, which comes in handy when
switching games.
Black with a yellow
top
Smart Com cart. Contains all kinds
of useful programs like calender and phonebook etc... Also has a way of
communicating with Infra Red (can also be used as tv-remote, says website)
more info
here
Grey
Gameboy Radio. Not realy a game.
Basically a radio that uses the gameboy's power to run. The screen of the
gameboy only displays a logo-bar.
black
Cleaning cart for the gameboy. It
cleans the contacts and keeps it fresh. Probably would work on a GBC as
well...
----------------------
Pictures stolen from: superbustysamuraimonkey,
FamiKiller, drop1410, Google, ttocs, NeX, And other sources I can't
remember...
If you know of any other gamecart / add-on that isn't listed?
(like the gamesharks, pokemon pinball, freakishly large bootlegs, etc.) post it,
and I'll add them.
----------------------
*might not contain
real gold

This post is reserved for the different types of gameboy color carts. Updates
will follow
It's also far from complete, as there is only one picture...
but it's green, so yay.

And now for another reason I started this thread.
I found something on the
bay of E.
It's a action man game in a
dark blue housing. Since I don't have a pokemon blue cart, I can't be sure, but
I think it's darker than that one. I've added a normal blue bic pen and a blue
DMG in the picture for reference, it's darker than both. Might be the same blue
as the japanese versions of pokemon gold/silver, but it's the same colour on
front and back.
Also, it's the same shape as a DMG game, and fits in one
perfectly, but when you try to play it, it says it's for gameboy colour
only..
anybody seen one before? and can someone tell me if it's the same
colour as the blue pokemon or darker?

Indeed, it's far from complete
But you've got to
start somewhere.
Also, I need pics of everything...

do you want photos of all the gameboy cameras? i have all the jap ones and
the euro ones, (slightly different text and different software) also hopefully i
should have the gold gameboy camera coming soon too.
and i got most of
the rumble games tho i don't have the awesome neon green one. and i have another
dodgy rip off green cartridge. ermmm thats all i can think of at the
moment.
i wish i had taken a screen shot of this auction on ebay, it was
some really weird gameboy carts, like they must have been copies, because there
were some great colours in there. i bided on it but it went too high

find a decent pic of that on the interwebs...

no probs, i got some DMG and some Colour rumble packs,
i got a
smartcom but i took it appart so it has a screw in the middle of a the sticker.
i want to buy a new one as it is very dodgy, it doesn't like to boot.

There, I added the gameboy camera's. Made some subsections, and added some
weird stuff. Haven't added all the gameshark / gamegenie stuff yet, but that
might come later. It's mainly for the gamecart colours anyway
Seems like
there where some GBC games that came in weird coloured DMG carts. Like the
action man game and the Mario deluxe game. Most of these came in normal GBC
carts. So it's a bit of a mystery....

very nice list, looks so much better with my stuff in it lol!

spot anything more i will let you know

looks big! What does the extra stuff on top do?
Looks like some kind of
switchable mini cartridge... Or is it some extra audio?

i dont own the cart anymore, last time i had one was way back when pokemon gs was being released so i might be wrong but iirc the extra stuff on the top of the cart was some sort of infra-red thingy. you would point it at the tv or point a control at it and unlock upgrades for your robopon.

Don't forget Nanoloop and LSDJ cartridges!
And maybe Muddy GB, Pixelh8's
programs, and maybe GBAs
But that's a great guide so far, well
done.

You might mention the regular clear color cases.
Also, SMBD came
in a clear GBColor case when I got it.

Yeah, I haven't really started the GBC part yet. Guess there are a lot more
of those...

Oooh, that purple/babyblue one looks cute.
but i'm not spending 15 pound
on that
I found out (a bit late, maybe) that my Action Man game has a
normal screw in it..
So i opened it, and found this:
Looks like it's a pirated game, me
thinks...
