Hello...
I've purchased MK2 for the game boy, but the cart is a little dirty where it says nintendo game boy. I've tried the cottom with alchool but it didn't clean it. Does anyone have any sugestion?
Here's a pic of the cart where I marked the dirty part.

If it's the remains of some sticker or something that was previously on the game, then you might want to see if you can acquire some Goo Gone (http://www.magicamerican.com/googone.shtml). The stuff has the most awful, cheesy comic book I think I've ever seen but it works well for the crap that pre-owned price stickers always leave on the cart. Lemon juice and peanut butter can also help for sticky stuff but Goo Gone is to gunk what RAID is to bugs.
If it's the remains of some Sharpie or other marking that the previous owner put on it, there might not be much you can do about removing it.

Peanut butter?! Really? Do you mean a solution of lemon juice and peanut butter, or either one?

I've had a few games that were like this. All used. I think it's a plastic discoloration. Nothings going to change it.

Spit and elbow grease work for me.
