It's entirely possible that the game was manufactured and then destroyed, or met some similar fate. Another example would be the variant version of Wally Bear on the NES that I owned at one point. Entirely different publisher than the one we're aware of, complete with a glossy professional label, but probably not released at retail.

Just throwing some fuel into the fire, it's an interesting debate.
Sure, but given the size of the Dreamcast collector's community, if it was ever released in a retail store, someone would know it. On a system like the Studio II, where few if any of us would claim to be an expert or avid collector, there just aren't enough people out there looking for games or who owned one back in the day to make this determination either way. In cases like that, you just have to go with the evidence you find and in this situation, the fact that several respected members of this community have physically inspected the game and packaging is strong proof that it did get a retail release. I'm not in support of creating a separate section because it's just not warranted. A complete RCA Studio II collection includes Bingo in my opinion and if anyone disagrees, they don't have to make an effort to find it for their own personal collection. It's as simple as that.
