There are at least 4 or 5 different version of box art for the same cereal. I have 2 of them, never opened or eaten. I'll go and take a picture quickly...
Sorry about the delay, my FTP program claimed I had invalid password for a while :P

Both images is slightly under 320K each. I think I have pictures of other cereal boxes but it's on my defunct Mac :P Any of you guys know how to read HFS+ formatted SCSI drive on a PC that has no SCSI support? I have Duo 280c but I don't have Mac OS 8.1, OS 8.6 (which I have) won't work on pre PPC based Macs, and older OSes don't have HFS+ support.[/url]

Pac-Man cereal...

You're still missing the NES cereal (a two-in-one thing in which half was Zelda cereal and half was Super Mario cereal). The other ones (DK, DK Jr., Pac-Man) were from the early 80s, while the NES one was in the late 80s (either 1986 or 1987).

Did you miss something from my post about 2 posts above yours?
Oh well, the picture of DK cereal looks a lot like it was from a commercal. I do remember a bit, the commercial started out with Mario running away from DK as DK was tossing barrels at Mario. Then the characters stopped and the camera pulled back to reveal a dancing cereal box.
*I know technically Mario was called Jumpman back then :P

I *know* Nintendo Cereal System was mentioned earlier. That's why I didn't list it again. However, here ya go:
