Gameboy system question
As a kid I bought a brand new gameboy right out of a Mall in Oregon on a family holiday. I still have it. I also have the original donkey kong game I got with it. I just can't remember if this was a "pack in" game or if I bought it separately. It's the old school type donkey kong, not donkey kong land.
I also still have Turtles 3 and Final Fantasy 3 from it, so I think I bought it long after gameboys came out and I don't ever remember owning tetris, even though every gameboy system I see comes with tetris it seems.
I wanna eventually complete my old gameboy with box and instructions (since of course I threw it out 
, but wanna make sure I get the right stuff for it.
BTW if any body has the stuff for this and/or DK and/or Turtles radical rescue let me know. Must be -USA since that's where I got it and is part of the childhood memory to me.

Is it the donkey kong game that has tons of levels, and between levels it has multiple DK's standing on each other's shoulders?
If so, that game definitely wasn't a pack-in. I know because my family bought my cousin a Gameboy and a copy of Donkey Kong for his birthday. If it had been a pack-in, we wouldn't have had to buy him the game seperately, but I vividly remember giving him the box with that game in it.
And that was in the mid-90's. This game came out in 1994. So yeah, you got your gameboy pretty late into the original Gameboy's run. I can tell you that yours probably didn't come with Tetris, since my cousin's Gameboy didn't come with Tetris either. That's why we had to buy him Donkey Kong.
So, if you're trying to CIB it, you'll probably be looking for a box like this: (minus the Link's Awakening sticker)
As opposed to a box like this:
Anyways, good luck with your mission CIBing it... I was recently digging around in my parent's house, and I found 4 Gameboy System boxes (the style like in the 2nd picture, the older ones) that belonged to me and my 3 siblings... Looking at what they cost nowadays, I'm glad we didn't throw them out!
Tetris was the pack-in game in the beginning. I want to say that there were other pack-ins, but I'm not sure.
Zelda (as seen in allyourbases post), Killer Instinct, not sure which others were pak ins
took me awhile to find a box like the first one with the tetris sticker on it, would like to pick up the rest at some point
So I'm thinking that was not a pack in and I bought it separate when I bought the system and I also need a non-tetris box. Seems like they're harder to find! good... muah hahaha.
Thanks for all the help guys. It was this DK game... http://cgi.ebay.com/Donkey-Kong-Gameboy-Advance-SP-Game...

Exactly what I thought... good luck, man!
