Gameboy w/Tetris. In any of the years that the gameboy came with tertis did it come with the purple manual? I see people saying no. My manuals in the box all end in CAN-3 as well as box. Tertis ends in -2.

Anyone know anything about them? I think its a '93 release as I have a cardboard liner not Styrofoam. Manual says '93. Anyone who actually knows and not just guessing would be a huge help. Perhaps someone has a matching box that can check.

Thanks in advance.

If the manual says '93, why do you doubt it was a '93 SKU release?

Because I've got multiple sources saying it should be a black manual, yet they are either us unboxings or not the same release. Am trying to work out a deal with a friend and he's telling me its not right, but no supporting evidence on either side. I'm honest when it comes to trades, and do not want to rip myself off.

It's an original gameboy/Tetris box set.

I actually learnt that there was a '93 release on here through the box design. I came across the box set, haven't owned it from new, so I'd like to make %100 sure its right. It

From checking my GameBoy World 1989 reference book the US cover appears to be black for that variant.

I'd check eBay for similar listings if I was you.

Either that or ask Jeremy Parish (does Game Boy World).

Yeah I've tried eBay, some with the cardboard insert (most I see are with a Styrofoam insert) have a purple... But most are black. I've got a Canadian release (which is a main reason I'm wondering) and can't find an ebay ad that shows the sku on the box.

Just want to know if its the o.g. book or been added to it after. Doesn't matter a whole lot, just hate not finding an answer haha

Thanks for the help.
