No it is just how are the cartridge. I think they were all originally gold but the color is fading off.

Thanks, but the really wonderful one is Columns :) the box is different because it was a first release.


I will post pictures later this month, I'm just waiting for some stuff before I post family pictures.


Also some of the carts are Indeed white, none of them were gold: white is the original color.

May be off topic, but I can't seem to find the information. It is relevant to these Handy GamBoy releases, at least the silver/gold versions. Where there is a stripe that newer copies have a picture of Sonic, in the older versions there is a picture of a different character. Is it known what this character's name is?

I don't know the answer, but the same character (alien/insect with four arms and antennae?) appears also in a Samsung Super Gamboy (Korean Mega Drive/Genesis) TV ad, but in monochrome line art instead of with rainbow coloration

Also the same character appeared on Super Gamboy game boxes, this time in color:

I think it is an alien, it shows his flying saucer/UFO in that commercial. Here is the text next to it from the ad:

이래나라로
오신것을
환영합니다

Which is basically "Welcome to this country that you came to"

Nice pictures, interesting Handy Gam*Boy!

Which console region does it report to Game Gear/SMS software, I wonder?

Also, any idea which Game Gear PCB revision these used, and where manufactured?

Also I wonder how to decipher the serial number on that TV Tuner Pak

And was there once a serial number sticker on the console itself, but now lost?

It's a Sega serial number, D is the manufacturer (made in Japan, but don't know the exact manufacturer for that code). 1 = manufactured in 1991. I have a picture of another Handy Gam*Boy TV Tuner serial very close to this one (D10046418). Most likely Samsung imported a few thousand Japanese models ~1991 and added their own front panel and back sticker.
