I've been going through basically everything in my house ahead of a move (tagsale time!) and stumbled on some games that were tossed in with a used DS I bought maybe a decade ago. Had no clue what this one was and had never tried it out, so I started poking around for more info. Turns out it's the first unlicensed GBA cartridge! It contains 10 games that were the winners of a competition on gbadev.org, which is still active if you want to read more about it all :). They made 500 of these cartridges that folks who were interested (I think) preordered. I charged the old DS and found that it does, indeed, work--a few photos included, sorry for the terrible lighting quality.

Anyone remember this or have/had one of these? Other than on the original website I've found VERY little info, and haven't found another copy posted other than a couple youtube play-throughs. I'm a very casual/cozy gamer so it's sort of funny and odd that I've ended up with this little piece of gameboy history. Glad I dug around more before I tossed it in a donation box!

**NOT SELLING just seeking information**

Purging my life before a move and stumbled on some old games from my DS and pocket. Was trying to figure out if any were worth selling, and it turns out this was a cartridge of the winning games from a competition 22 years ago. Anyone recognize it or have any clue if it's worth anything? My assumption is always "no", to be clear, but I figured I'd check before I chuck it in a tag sale bin! Obviously I tried searching on google, ebay, etc, but all I found was that no one has sold one in recent history for there to be any comps.

Edit: Apparently they made 500 of these and it was the first unlicensed GBA game.

If I'm asking in the wrong place, I apologize and happily accept redirection!
