Potential rare gamegear game I use to have

Back in elementary school a friend of mine bought me a gamegear game for my birthday. It was X-Men 3: Mojo World. If I remember right he bought it new, I had the box, manual, all that. I was excited to play it and so I put the cartridge in, turned it on and it was some fucking bugs bunny game. (maybe Bugs Bunny: Double Trouble - I'd know if I played it)

I was disappointed back then never really played the game, and sold it off to some game place when I got rid of my initial gamegear. Looking back though I may have had something unique. Has anyone heard of something like this? It struck me as strange back then and I still don't quite understand it. Thre is the possibility of someone opening the cartridges and switching the game chip, but i do remember it being a new game.

or it could've been someone who opened the case, and swapped circuit boards.

I'd be lying if I said I never did this with rental games as a kid.

I thought I was the only one who did that.

My dad always had these tools around that i used to open rental games and switch the board with a crappy game i had.
