The circus cart and box go together.. I'd have to say it's one of the highest quality carts and boxes I have. they are quite heavy and well made.

Does that Scuba diver look like a Zellers cart (same type of end label)? I think I may have that same one (I'll check when I get home).

Yes, it sure does. I got it from Canada and kind of assumed it was zellers.. But no one lists it and it's art is kind of different from the other zellers cart in that it is really cartoony and not so artsy fartsy.

I believe Circus is basically a nameless pirate cart. Scuba Diver might be Zellers, but we're reserving judgement until we see a box. Otherwise it's just speculation.

these should be taiwan carts, the circus can be found in uk and germany too. they have the same cases than the BITcorp-rippoffs from taiwan

 

the other label is a rainbowvision rip-off, this illustration can be found on rainbowvision and quelle/starsoft carts .... these carts are mainly found in australia

 

i don't really know the story behind, but i suppose that Zellers is just a distributor that bought his games from the same manufacturer.

I am not the most qualified to answer questions but the image of the circus one is the same image as the cartridge put out by Atari called "Circus Atari". So it must have been a clone or a pirated version of the game.

I agree with Alex that the Circus cart Might be a Pirated game. It almost looks like Cheap Telegames label. Which contry made the equivelent of Telegames? atari = Polyvox and Activision = HES. any idea?

[Ze_ro]

I doubt that Scuba Diver (Or was that Skuba?) cart is a Zellers cartridge. The art is just too different... not to mention the theme Zellers had going where none of the labels had anything to do with the game (Just look at Laser Volley... helicopters and jumbo jets?)

 

As for Circus.. well, I have no idea. Looks like yet another pirate cart.

That Skuba Diver cart.. the art on that looks like the box art for SeaQuest.

[Joel D. Park]

Uh, yea about that Skuba thing.. It's actually spelled correctly on the cart. I was dumbfounded when I spelled it wrong, but it's allready filled out incorectly in my database as well, so the name will probably stay spelled wrong, it's only in the file name .

 

You guys have seen my brilliance before when I claimed Swordquest Airworld was on the 256 game multicart. It seems the faster I learn to type, the slower my brain goes. I'm to the point that I type words before I ever think about it.

Circus is a Taiwan pirate cart, two titles have been released with a green label like this one, the other title is chess.

ps

The other cart is a regular taiwan pirate, same as the ones sold by Zellers.
