trust me, I'm a cat.

found a gba sp for a really low price on an auction site, pretty tempted to place a bid, but this one thing really made me curious:



the hell is the game inside? the listing is done by pawn shop or similar so no real description other than "tested, works perfectly"
please help fellow imps

Didn't the NES/SNES games that where released on GBA have a red band on that side?

I spent the last 20m combing through hundreds of pictures of GBA carts on google and I don't see a single one that could possibly be that. I'm stumped.

I've got to loving find out, I can't cum until I do

-prob not a bootleg, most gba bootlegs have hosed up GBA logo imprints above the label
-not likely a 2-in-1 cause the red part is smaller than the blue but I could be wrong
-what is that a sticker of? It's a roughed up normal blue GBA SP which were very popular but not available immediately when the gba sp came out (I think it was sold from late 03-sometime in 05) and whoever owned it liked whatever that's a sticker of so we can go from there and try to figure out what kind of game he would like
-not a GBA video, those were all white

:siren: FOUND IT :siren:



it was shark tale / shrek 2 euro ver

edit: I googled gba shovelware and found that particular combo game had the right color scheme so I googled that because the euro cart might be different and lo and behold. It's amazing how many gba carts have a red/blue color scheme where red is always on the left, there's some naruto game that did that too. Apparently only shark tale and shrek 2's combo cart did it in reverse
