About this item

Box can no longer be folded shut.

Good to know: save battery not replaced

This cartridge stores your progress on an internal battery. After 20+ years the original batteries are often flat — saving is then not possible. The game plays perfectly well, but progress is lost when you switch off. Replacement is possible.

Shipping €35.95 — your parcel leaves the Netherlands.

Order more than one and you share the shipping: a second game rides along free.

Purchases under SAR 1,000 (shipping included) are free of customs duty, but Saudi VAT of 15% applies, sometimes with a small customs service fee; from SAR 1,000 duty (usually 5%) is added. SPL collects it before delivery — it is not included in the price at checkout.

Crossing the border costs you more and takes longer. That you accept that anyway means a great deal to me.

Parcel (console / 4+ items), tracked: €53.95
Delivery time: 7-16 working days

We ship from the Netherlands: your parcel crosses the world, so it takes longer and costs more than a domestic delivery. Online purchases under SAR 1,000 including shipping are free of customs duty, but Saudi VAT of 15% applies; from SAR 1,000, customs duty (usually 5%) is added. SPL collects it before delivery — it is not included in the price at checkout. At checkout you enter the short address of your National Address.

On your console in Saudi Arabia: Game Boy games have no region lock, so this European (PAL) edition plays on any Game Boy, whatever region it is from.

Saudi Arabia is outside the EU. Online purchases worth less than SAR 1,000 in total, shipping included, are free of customs duty — but Saudi VAT of 15% still applies, sometimes with a small customs service fee from ZATCA. From SAR 1,000, customs duty (usually 5%) is added on top. SPL collects it before delivery; it is not included in the price at checkout. SPL delivers to your National Address, which is why checkout asks for your short address (4 letters and 4 digits, e.g. RRRD2929). You pay in euros — Credit card or PayPal. Mollie does not process Saudi riyals; next to every price you see the approximate amount in riyals, and your card converts the euro amount at its own rate.

Why does shipping abroad cost this much?

Inside the Netherlands a single game fits through the letterbox — €4.40, tracking included. That service stops at the border. Anything leaving the country goes with PostNL as an international parcel, which is a different and considerably more expensive service. That is where the €35.95 comes from: the border itself is not what costs money, the cheap service simply ends there.

That amount covers the PostNL rate to your country plus the packaging: bubble mailer or box, an antistatic sleeve for the cartridge, and tape. We never drop the tracking — on a parcel that crosses a border, shipping without proof of delivery is a risk for both of us.

Without you there would be nothing to grow. Every order that comes in here is the reason this shop can get bigger — and the reason I can keep doing this.

About this product

Pokemon Silver Version for Game Boy / Color — a classic from the Pokémon series, among the most sought-after Nintendo games there are.

The original Johto adventure of Generation 2 — day-night cycle, 100 new Pokémon and the return to Kanto.

With its original box — increasingly hard to find in this condition and a highlight in any collection. Cartridge cleaned and tested on original hardware, ready to play. Clear signs of use on the item, described honestly — the game works perfectly.

The Game Boy / Color came out in 1989: monochrome screen, AA batteries and 8-bit classics — the console that defined handheld gaming. On the original cartridge the game runs the way it was meant to — and keeps working for years to come.

Who is this for? Anyone who would rather play on a real Game Boy / Color than in an emulator — collectors who want the original in their hands, and players who simply want that feeling back.

What to know before buying a Pokémon game: Pokémon cartridges are the most counterfeited game cartridges in the world. We check every copy ourselves — the label, the screw on the back, the board inside — so you know for sure you are getting an original, not a fake. In doubt? Send us a message and we will take extra photos for you.

Game Boy games have no region lock, so this European (PAL) edition plays on any Game Boy, whatever region it is from. Every item passes our authenticity check (shell, board, Nintendo markings) and a function test — you're buying 100% original Nintendo.

Shipped from the Netherlands with PostNL tracking to Saudi Arabia: from €35.95; Saudi VAT (15%) is collected on delivery, customs duty only from SAR 1,000. 30-day returns.

Seen it cheaper elsewhere?

For most titles there’s also a private listing online, sometimes a few euros cheaper. The difference isn’t in the title, but in the copy itself and in everything around it.

Does it work?: Here: Has been running here — save and label checked — before it went online.; Private seller: ‘Works’ in the photo. You test it yourself, after buying.
Is it genuine?: Here: Six checks: screw, label, circuit board, weight, save and boot. A reproduction doesn’t get through.; Private seller: Fakes are a plague with Pokémon and GBA games, and in a photo you can’t tell the difference.
If it disappoints?: Here: 30-day cooling-off period, and a 30-day warranty that it works.; Private seller: No right of withdrawal: consumer law doesn’t apply between private individuals. Buyer protection only covers the first 48 hours after delivery; after that you’re on your own.
Who’s behind it?: Here: One person, who has held this game personally and answers your question personally.; Private seller: Varies per listing.

Why you still remember this

The clock that kept running while you were at school

For the first time, night in the game was actually night, with Pokémon you never saw during the day. You kept track of the day of the week for that one encounter, and just when you thought you were done, there turned out to be a second region behind the first.

One copy, this copy. This is the generation with time itself inside the cartridge. They stopped making them new long ago; what’s going around is what someone kept.

Authenticity check

How we test Game Boy / Color games for authenticity

GB and GBC cartridges (1989-2002) are a favourite target for counterfeiters. We go through these five steps on every cartridge. Every Game Boy / Color game in our shop goes through this five-step check before it is sold.

1
Gamebit screw (3.8 mm)
A screw on the back that only opens with a 3.8 mm gamebit — not an ordinary Phillips screw.
2
Product code with DMG- or CGB- prefix
DMG- for the classic GB, CGB- for Game Boy Color. No prefix: then it is a counterfeit.
3
Label + Nintendo Seal of Quality
Sharp print, gold Seal of Quality, label perfectly applied.
4
Cartridge weight
Game Boy 18-24 g, Game Boy Color 22-25 g (measured range). Counterfeits with thinner plastic fall noticeably below that.
5
Start-up test
The Nintendo logo + title screen appear within 2 to 3 seconds. No corrupted sprites or crashes.

What we see with Game Boy / Color games

Our experience

GB + GBC cartridges have different properties: the original GB works in black and white, the GBC in colour. Some GBC cartridges (such as Pokémon Crystal) do NOT work on the original GB. That is why every product states explicitly what it works on.

Our tip

Check which system you have: the original GB plays grey and black (dual-mode) cartridges, but not the clear Colour-only games. The GBC plays everything from GB and GBC. The GBA plays GB + GBC + GBA. If you want to be able to play everything, a GBA SP is the safest choice.

About this specific copy

This copy comes with its original box. A manual or inserts may be included, but we do not guarantee them. This copy is in "Fair condition" — working, but with visible wear (scratches, signs of use). Our grading is conservative.

About Game Boy / Color

Game Boy / Color cartridges are compatible with both the original Game Boy and the Game Boy Color. They use colour on GBC hardware but also work (in black and white) on the original Game Boy. That gives maximum flexibility to players with both consoles.

Dual-compatible — works on the Game Boy and the Game Boy Color.
Popular titles: Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal, Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe.
Recognisable by the black cartridge shell — grey is Game Boy-only, clear is Colour-only.
The cartridge itself does not wear out; only the coin cell for the save can be flat after 25+ years, and it can be replaced.

Our tip: These cartridges also fit in the Game Boy Advance and GBA SP (backwards compatible), which makes them one of the most flexible cartridge types.

Is the manual included with Pokemon Silver Version?

This is delivered as "Game in original box". The original box is included. A manual may be included too, but we do not guarantee it separately — which is why we call it "Game in original box" and not "complete in box".

How do I know Pokemon Silver Version is genuine and not a fake?

We run a 6-point authenticity check on every Pokémon game: (1) screw and shell — Game Boy and Game Boy Color close with a 3.8 mm gamebit screw, Game Boy Advance with a Y-shaped tri-wing; fakes often use a Phillips screw, and DS and 3DS cards are glued with no screw at all; (2) label print and colour, with a sharp Nintendo Seal; (3) the circuit board inside on Game Boy, Color and Advance — original Nintendo print and the right product code (on a DS or 3DS card: the code on the back); (4) the weight — Game Boy 18-24 g, GBA 10-13 g, DS 3.6-4.1 g; fakes with thinner plastic weigh noticeably less; (5) a save test: save, switch off, load again; (6) a play test on original hardware. Lenn has been doing this since 2019.

Does Pokemon Silver Version have a save battery that can run flat?

Only games with a save function have one: a CR2025 in Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges, a CR2032 in the N64 titles that save to SRAM — they usually last 10 to 20 years. A game that works with passwords or high scores has no battery to run flat. For every game with a save we test saving before it ships: make a save, switch off, load again. If the battery runs flat later, it can be replaced: within 30 days of purchase we do it for free.

I hope Gameshop Enter gives you back a piece of how it used to be.

That it’s soon in your hands again and feels exactly the way you remember it — that’s what this shop was started for.
