Intellivision super series big league Baseball

What's the difference of this game? Is it the same is big league baseball? I can't find anything on it in the database.

The box art is the same as World Series Major League Baseball and looking at the overlays in the auction, they are labeled WSMLB. It also requires the ECS module, so my guess would be a very scarce box variation (if it was a North American release) or a little seen non-US release.

I kinda figured it had to be a variation of some kind, a revision in the database is due for it I think.

Here is something that is missing from the guide, a dust cover for Intelly kind of cool if you ask me and probably pretty rare too.

Also the value on Spiker should be raised considerably. Even if Ebay is always too high, I bid on one and was willing to pay the $300 for it and was outbid it went for 315, and a boxed one went for over $900. The DB says 85 but it should be raised to maybe like 275ish maybe higher.

Ok, here is a little more info of this game. I was lucky enough to get this game boxed at a swap meet a while back. Intellivision had a license with Major league baseball, it was titled world series big league baseball. Eventually this license ran out. When this happened they decided to keep making this game, but instead they named it Super Series Big League Baseball. I personally feel it is about as rare as Spiker Volleyball. In fact Spiker boxed has showed up for auction more times than this game. I think a similar story is for why Major league baseball became Big League baseball for the Intellivision

Since it actually has a different name, could we add it to the guide as it's own entry? Stadium Events is only a name change too. Seems pretty cool, I wish I had the cash now, I should have a new job hopefully this week.

The game in the ebay auction listed is just a box-variant. World Series Major League Baseball has three different labels. The one in the auction is this one:

The reason it doesn't have a different listing in the guide is becuase of the fact that it's just the box. So why is it that Big League Baseball is in the guide then? Don't ask me x_x.

In any event, I hope it doens't get added to the guide, because that would mean I would have to get another game to complete my collection ;)

That makes sense but I still think a separate entry would help clarify things a bit.

The more I look at those pics, the more I feel a separate entry is needed, either we need to combine all of the box variants into one listing with the name on the cart being the one in the listing or they all need separate listings, I think separate listings are easier to understand for me at least.

Although I am biased because I have the game. I believe there should be a seperate listing as well. The main reason for this is because Super Series Baseball is A LOT harder to find then Word Series Baseball. When the difference in rarities is extreme, I feel that there should be a seperate listing.
