Kellogg's Beach Volleyball

in Collector's Corner
Mark and I were talking last night about games that were hard to classify (Wally Bear, Chiller, Comp carts, CMII), and he brought up the Kellogg's Beach Volleyball cart.  I had never heard of it up until he mentioned it.  He did a quick database search and found this:

What exactly do we know about this cart?  Is the owner of the database copy known?  Is there more than one cart in collector's hands?  When was it "discovered," and where exactly (eBay?)?  Any speculation as to what it may be worth?  Is the rom identical, or is there a modified title screen?

    Good question...

    Hmmm, should have done a little more digging:

    According to the link it was found in a pawn shop, and it's Super Spike V'Ball. The board is a legit Nintendo board with standard roms.

    Intriguing to say the least. I wonder...

    I dunno but I'd start my search in Canada.

    I'd start by contacting Kellogg's Canada...I'd do it right now if I wasn't half asleep and having to leave in an hour or so image

    If anyone read the thread, I side with the camp that believes it's just a cheap prize sticker from an old box of flakes, stuck on a cart that had the label ruined. This is far too late, why wouldn't they have gone with the tech of the times and used SNES? N64 was just coming out, why go two generations back? This is garbage.

    So, should it be removed from the database?  It seemed that parties were pretty split in regards to whether it was legitimate or not. 

    I guess none have surfaced in the past five years?

    ^ I'm pretty hard to convince but luckily I'm not in charge of seeding the database otherwise it wouldn't be as full and rich. I think Dain likes to put everything in there for posterity and let individuals judge, which is the right way to maintain an archive. The Library of Congress still maintained communist literature during the 50's, and rightly so. Shifting opinions should have no effect on raw documentation.



    However, that doesn't stop me from believing it's garbage made by some kid. image

    There are cereal collectors and there are Olympic collectors. If this is just a sticker then there are others. Find the sticker and you solve the puzzle. Someone at Kelloggs might have the answer as well.

    That's just it. Even if it does turn out to be fake, I say we leave it in the database with a marker to denote it as something documented to not exist, maybe even with a few paragraphs about it. I might undertake the research on this personally at some point in the future, I just don't have the time at the present.



    ...But so I don't forget about it when I do, thread's bookmarked now image
