Original Game Boy cartridges are over 35 years old and most of them still run. The catalog runs from Tetris, printed in the tens of millions and still nearly free, to early Pokemon and the rare late releases the collector market chases.

Nearly every used Game Boy game trades as a loose cartridge, since the small cardboard boxes rarely survived, so label condition and working save batteries are what separate two copies of the same game. BuyMap puts each title's eBay listings in one comparison table with shipping included in the total. The carts also play on the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance, so demand comes from owners of three different systems.

Open any game here to compare its listings side by side. For titles not in the catalog, the home page search covers all of eBay by name or barcode.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow lead demand and their prices reflect it, especially with a working save battery. Beyond those, low-print late releases and complete-in-box copies of anything popular carry premiums. Common puzzle and movie tie-in carts remain some of the cheapest retro games you can buy.

Grey carts are original Game Boy games. Black carts are usually dual-mode releases from the Game Boy Color era that play on both systems, with color on the GBC, and a few dual-mode games used special shells, like the gold and silver Pokemon carts. Clear-shell carts are GBC-only and will not run on the original handheld. Shell color is a reliable first check, and the listing title or box art confirms it.

No, but factor them in. First-generation Pokemon carts save with an internal battery that is usually dead or dying by now, and a swap is cheap but requires opening the cart. A listing that discloses a dead battery is often priced fairly for it; a listing claiming holds a save is worth a little more.

Yes. Original Game Boy carts play on the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and Game Boy Advance SP (not the DS). That compatibility keeps demand broad, since collectors of three different systems shop the same cartridge pool.
