Rare Colecovision Games on EBay

I'm kind of new at this so bear with me.

Are these long lost roms, that the seller put on a cartridge?

 

It's all of the rare games that never were released, so how did these come about?

 

Just curious.

Those look like crappy inket printed labels.

The seller in questions didn't put the ROMs on carts, he simply obtained them from someone else who did. Of all those listed, the only "legit" releases are likely the Penguin Land and the Fireman. The rest are cheaply executed repros the seller obtained at an earlier date.

That Fireman game looks like a Zellers 2600 cart. Not sure if they ever did Coleco Vision games. There was a Super Donkey Kong prototype for the Adam that filled in the missing levels, so someone could have done a repro of that. Never heard of Super DK Junior though that could also be a repro of a proto that never got released. They could also be homebrews.

Fireman was a limited run repro produced both boxed and loose in the Taiwan Cooper style. It was never officially released outside that reproduction of the dumped ROM.
