There are 3 boxes for Radar Mission all say Game Link Game Pak. The first 2 boxes (TM and R) came with the error/misprint cart. The 3rd -1 box came with the corrected cart. The 2nd Box is the hardest to find. I think it was only printed once and corrected 3 months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samsamsamsmasmasma | 16 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Some more "unlicensed" variants coming out. Anyone gonna pick them up?

Of all the games they have to choose penguins and monkeys. Lets be original and say a potato or even a tomato or better yet lets do a pole. i like tank and toxie is a cool thing and john is cool with tennis as long as he has a can of 7UP.

I do see that the 97-99 are where 60% of the variants are coming out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 5,212 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 I officially "give up" on trying to "catch 'em all". I'm not selling off my variants, unless someone gives me a ridiculous offer on some of the rarer ones, or any of them for that matter, but this is getting to crazy and, honestly, I can put these $$$s to greater use within this hobby. I still have quite a lot of games I'd like to collect that I don't have a single copy of. Variants are pointless as far as play is concerned. I'm still going to pop in, and I don't mind updating photos or the OP, but as far as actively collecting these and searching, I'm slowing down a LOT. Take care guys, and best of luck. Now, onto the Game Gear collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, it's not about hard. It's about worth. I own all of these games. I can play them when I want. Hunting obscure stuff is fun, but when I like to 100% and some of these items are fetching over $100, I have to ask. Do I want to own a second copy of a game, or do I want to collect for the Game Gear, which was extremely important to me as a kid. That's going to be my new focus, but there are also a ton of other games for just about every system out there I want. I'm just not organized about it. Throw your shade at me for "giving up", but it's not because it's hard but because at the moment it's not a top priority compared to the many other titles I don't own but are on my want list. I'm happy and have no shame with myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it's probably a little that Game Gear ruined my childhood because I had a GG and not a GB Edited March 29, 2021 by DefaultGen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it's probably a little that Game Gear ruined my childhood because I had a GG and not a GB Oh, that is sad. I had a Game Boy and a Game Gear. I LOVED my Game Boy but as a kid I thought the Game Gear seemed so high-tech with the color screen and the TV adapter. Blew my mind. My grand parents got each grand kid a Game Boy back in 89 but I had to work hard to get the Game Gear and paid for it with my own money. I think in the end, I had 16 games for it and most were the common/expected ones but I loved them all. I think it's specifically because it was the first system I owned where I bought most of the games and hardware myself, rather than it being gifted. The GB line up is waaaaay better, than the GG, for sure. I'll not concede that. But, at this point I can play every single GB game on any piece of original hardware. I can't say that for the GG and that was another system I loved. I've also considered doing a full set for the N64. Lucky me, that's an "easy one" too, but that's probably the next most impactful system from my childhood, tied with the PS1 and... well you can call me a wuss for not wanting to collect all of those games. I don't even have the space for that, much less the benjamins. Edited March 29, 2021 by RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVOSS | 1,772 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Anyone looking for the Balloon Kid variant? one is up on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Balloon-Kid-Nintendo-Game-Boy/303947744175?epid=56235241&hash=item46c4b283af:g:YbsAAOSww~pgWgQR&autorefresh=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 5,212 Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Nothing new to to report, but I figured I'd give a minor update on my personal journey. Ok so, I can't give up variant hunting, however, I've decided that my current collection is going to focus on notable, revision increasing changes. In other words, I'm going to primarily look for the variants that bumped from "DMG-xxx-USA" to "DMG-xxx-USA-1". Oddities, very-minor errors link cable logo changes are just going to be avoided. For now. I think I only need about 25 more variants to complete that known set, and only a handful seem to be really rare. I finally got a Penguin Wars. It's an ugly one, so I'm going to keep looking for a better condition one. It really is odd. Some of these, I quickly found when I started searching, but I didn't buy them because the condition was horrible. Now a couple of years later, those lone examples are gone off of eBay and I've not seen new copies since then. Penguin Wars was one of those games, so I have no clue if I'll see another one any time soon. EDIT Ok, so there is another Rev-1 for Penguin Wars on eBay right now, but the label is pretty warn. I think I've been ignoring that one for a long time. If someone is looking for that game, they don't come up often. This isn't really a high demand game, but once that one is gone, who knows when another copy will show up. Edited May 18, 2021 by RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. I could be persuaded but people are throwing out "stupid money" for are Mario stuff and that's where I am with that copy. I'm not trying to convince you to throw out a price, but it's have to be something in the range of, "do I want to keep this game, or pay for the first year of tuition for my kids college education?" range. Well, I might go a little cheaper than that. College is expensive. But close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
