Complete your handheld collection with this original box and instruction manual for Ishido: The Way of Stones on the Nintendo Game Boy. This set is a rare find for collectors who already own the game cartridge and want to upgrade to a "Complete in Box" (CIB) status.

Released in 1990, Ishido is a sophisticated strategy and puzzle game known for its deep gameplay and unique "oracle" mechanics.

Condition Details

The manual is fully intact with no missing pages, secure staples, and no interior writing or major creasing.
