^Review copies and such aren't as interesting as in-production prototypes. I imagine that game is identical to the final release ROM.

I remember that i saw that cartirgde in kotaku

http://kotaku.com/this-prototype-cartri ... -688157141

I checked the ebay link and the game was sold, it wasn't for 15k, i wonder how much did this guy accepted.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/141008475254?ss ... 1423.l2649

It counts as a prototype if the label says final version?
