Picked up some more Game Boy games - Solar Striker was inspired by this excellent thread (Rec me Game Boy action games! - #9 by Glowsquid), including a much loved boxed copy of Adventure of Mana.
Speaking of Mana, it seems like I happened across another launch copy. Battery on the board is date-stamped July 1991, so it was probably manufactured for the launch window of the game. Saves are still there!
I need to get Dracula Densetsu 2 at some point. Is there a specific version to look out for? It seems there’s a change to a weapon in the North American release of Castlevania Adventure 2, and there was a Konami GB Classics rerelease I think?
