I had a closer look at the following eBay auction:

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 260911606463

... and I noticed the Donkey Kong Jr tabletop in the picture, with the visible game display. This is the first time that I've ever seen what the actual game looks like on that unreleased tabletop.

Cool. :)

That is a fake display, unfortunately they never completed the units and only had a couple mockups for that photoshoot. There were other mockups for the actual catalog pages too. I'm so sad that they departed from this cool design and just re-branded the Nintendo DKJ instead.

There are actually 2 different PermaPower packages... this one is the Canadian one, the other one does not have Donkey Kong JR on it.

I would have to agree that it is most likely a mock-up. On a side note, here is a clearer screen mock-up of DKjr.:

I hope that helps.

BTW, the above image comes from this promo sheet:

It will work on anything that takes between 1 and 4 C size batteries.
