Black cartridged GB/GBC games

[Ouenben]

I have a strange allure to these, specially if the normal grey carts of a game are also available. Anyone know where I might find a full list of them?

Pokemon Trading Card game
River King (I believe).

That's all that springs to mind. Would be pretty hard to find a full list

Didn't Zelda DX come on a black cart?

[gordon]

Yep. Trying to think of others off-hand...

[edit] My R-Type DX and Tetris DX are both black carts too; which makes me think all the DX games would be black carts.

Think my Mortal Kombat 2 is on a black cart...will look when I get home tonight.

Also pretty sure my Batman: Animated series cart is black as well...thats gone missing though so not going to be able to confirm that one

Not sure, but I always thought the black carts were Color games that were compatible with the B/W Gameboy (and therefore the Super Gameboy as well), and the clear carts needed a Gameboy Color to work.

Anyway, there's huge number of black cart JPN releases.

Sort of related, does anyone have a list of Gameboy Color games that come in a standard grey cart? I know of one only, Dragon Quest Monsters (JPN).

Earthworm Jim is a black cart.

I used to have stacks of them but i sold them all

Think we had a Tweety Pie & Sylvester Gameboy Color game that was a black cart?

[noobish hat]

What are you talking about? there are hundreds of back carts aren't there? Or are you just talking about games that had both a grey and a black cart version? If so there are several games that were monochrome (so grey cart) in Japan but were colourised for the western release (so black cart). Legend of the river king is one that has been mentioned, as well as Harvest Moon DX, and quite a few others I would imagine.

I think Rampage world tour has a black cart doesn't it?

[egparadigm]

Weren't all GBC games given black carts? My copy of GTA is black and I'm pretty sure my friend had a black cart for their Rugrats game.

Gameboy color games were Colourless transparent cases that no grove in the top right corner so they could only play in gb color consoles.
The black cartrigde games were hybrids that played in both Gameboy and Gameboy color consoles, having a proper colour pallette instead of the ones the GB color assigns to monochrome gb games.
