Title: Game Boy Tetris Manuals Post by: monkees19 on March 29, 2014, 04:09:39 PM Probably a stupid question but my search engine findings don't answer it. I bought a complete copy of Tetris for Game Boy. The original. My copy was only cart & manual and box only was way too pricey so I bought complete. But after I got it, the manual inside has a purple cover but the one I already had is black. Anyone know the reason for it? Maybe one is the Player's Choice? Our database here would tell me no, but I don't see the purple manual on the site either.

I tried to document them once but kinda gave up. Title: Re: Game Boy Tetris Manuals Post by: monkees19 on March 30, 2014, 08:07:05 AM I really just want to know so I can sell my extra manual and cart but I want my complete copy to be truly complete
Title: Re: Game Boy Tetris Manuals Post by: GamerNick on March 30, 2014, 08:36:25 AM I believe the Black manual came in the Original Game Boy Pack In release with the system.
Title: Re: Game Boy Tetris Manuals Post by: Izret101 on March 30, 2014, 10:25:49 PM There were also several Tetris system bundles.
I would lean towards the color manual having been bundled with earlier released bundles/copies of the game. Generally things are higher quality initially then get reduced to further cut costs down the road. Title: Re: Game Boy Tetris Manuals Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on March 31, 2014, 06:08:16 AM Izret's right - the B/W was like the third manual. I'll take a look later today.

Tetris Millions seller - game Tetris Gameboy bundle Tetris/Link Gameboy Bundle Tetris/Mario Gameboy Bundle Are the bundles i can think of off hand. Chances are there were others. But minus the Million choice those might cover the 4 potential variants Shadow is aware of. Title: Re: Game Boy Tetris Manuals Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on March 31, 2014, 09:37:06 AM Original:
