it would be nice to get 100% correct answer from japanese gurus, were those two unknown konamis published THERE?!?! Or are there some " advertising cartridges " around of those two?? Maybe then 260€ for cabbage patch kids is just lil part of pocket money....
Yes, the JOLLY HOPPER is apparently HYPER SPORTS I, were the third event was trampoline jumping. Anyway, it is a very curious page, specially because the screen captures don't seem to belong to actual MSX games, but other systems.
Anyone has more clues regarding this?
Yep, JOLLY HOPPER is HYPER SPORTS I.
I came across this nice BLOG post at MSX Lab: blog.goo.ne.jp/msx_lab/
It says that Konami released (or intended to) four titles in the "I Love" series. Each title should be about one educational topic as all titles were supposed to be educational.
-I love English -> Spelling Bee
-I love Mathmetics -> Magical Tree
-I love Science -> Hyper Sports 1 (or Jolly Hopper)
-I love Athletics -> Athletic Land
-I love Mathmatics -> Magical TreeWasn't that supposed for Monkey Academy? Seems more logical to me... And what's so scientific about Hyper Sports 1? Beats me!
Funny: the poster shows RC-705 two times... Once for Super Cobra (correct) and once for Billiards (incorrect).

Hm, the poster shows 7 titles with the "I love <blahblah>" text:
- Comic Bakery
- Spelling Bee
- Magical Tree
- Jolly Hopper
- Antarctic Adventure
- Athletic Land
- Monkey Academy
:-?
that antarctic adventure picture on that flyer looks more like that that map is NOT visible when playing. As if you think it, it is harder to play , if that map fills screen while you play. It looks like that advertising guys have just put photo of antarctic adventure map screen to same photo to make it look cooler! Old trick!
That way you can see more screens from the game in just one photo.
time pilot and super cobra also differ in those shots.
In time pilot the planes all fly linear, and it's very crowded; the heli in supercobra looks different...(and the landscape is red instead of green). Then again, Super Cobra is basically an alternate version of Scramble.
