Harvest Moon 3 GBC... In a grey cart?

[halbert]

Today at a game store I saw a copy of Harvest Moon 3 for Gameboy. Not rare, except this one is in a grey cart, and it doesn't look like a pirate or it's been tampered with. Anybody heard of this before?

[Querjek]

That's weird... are you sure it was the third game?

[halbert]

Yep, it even said CGB on the label. I think I'll go back and get it today.

A Gamestop near me has Zelda Oracle of Ages in a grey cart. I'm guessing its a bootleg. Is there any chance its a proto or anything of the sort?

Yeah, one time I saw the GBC Blaster Master game in a gray cart. I bought it, but it refused to work so I returned it.

Well, it was gone :o , but it sounds like maybe the grey carts were just used when the manufacturer was out of the green GBC carts, so ah well :D

Actually, that one worked in the original GB as well.

that's slightly doubtful. you may wat to find out if the game was ever reissued in some format OR if it's from another region (although that cart color designations were universal)...

Hey, I used to own the Harvest Moon you're referring to (not the specific cart you're referring to, but a copy of that same game). It's good, and fairly rare, but not a promo or anything like that.
