People say that i need to open it up and get a new battery for the inside.

Whoever said you need to replace the battery is right. Many of the old game carts for consoles like the Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and the Gameboys use SRAM to store the game data. This memory chip requires a constant trickle of power from a battery to retain its state. These batteries typically last around five years. Once the battery runs short of enough energy needed to power the chip, the data is gone and the battery needs to be replaced.

The game was made in 1998...

I have no idea where my gameboys are. I know where my DS is and thats the only nintendo device i play.
