So what's the story about Cabbage Patch Kids?

It is a KONAMI game but copyrighted by OAA, INC. ?????

Nope, the Zemmix version has no copyright statement at all.
On the original Konami cart you can see this:

I have checked my copy for this and you're right.
It says (c) OAA on the cartridge and it is also stated on the box.
Didn't noticed it before...

I guess OAA, whatever it stands for, develloped the game and Konami published it.

No, Cabbage Patch Kids is from 'Original Appalachian Artworks Inc. (OAA)' (see here). Google is your friend

My guess is that OAA Inc. makes a serie of toys called Cabbage Patch Kids and it associated with Konami to create a game with the characters.

Konami shamelessly used code from Athletic Land.

Okay, that would explain it.

I was a bit scared that OAA made the game (in 1983), and that Konami bought it, changed it to Athletic land (RC700 - 1984), and later published the original too (RC716 - 1984)

But that probebly isn't the case, looking at the Cabbage Patch Kids site, and reading Leandro's and manuel's reactions.

Does someone have a scan or very good photo of the box (front/side/back) and/or the manual? Or even the cart? Then I can use those in GenMSX.
