The Adventures of Pinocchio
Game Boy · 1998
About this game
Adventures of Pinocchio is a beta version of Ottifanten, an action puzzle game developed by Bit Managers and released in 1998 for the GameBoy, based on some German comics.
While there is a released Pinocchio game for the Game Boy mono, "Adventures of…" is a completely different title and Bit Managers never listed this one on their homepage, only Ottifanten.

A playable version of this beta was leaked online, and it's often confused for an official released game.
Trying out the game shows that you cannot lose any lives – the counter won't work.
This is no final release and there is none because it's an unreleased game.
A closer look at the dump floating around will reveal a weird internal name "Infrey Quest", so we can speculate that before Pinocchio and Ottifanten, Bit Managers tried to develop their own original IP.
When they did not find any publisher interested in Infrey Quest, they changed the game in Pinocchio and later into Ottifanten, with their more recognized characters.
Ottifanten uses the same game concept as well and the same music as Adventure of Pinocchio.
It even looks like the basic stage design is the same.
About Game Boy
The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.
Gamevaro tracks The Adventures of Pinocchio for Game Boy with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding The Adventures of Pinocchio to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GB release dates back to 1998.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for The Adventures of Pinocchio, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Game Boy titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
