From the little I can see, it looks legitimate.

I'm assuming those stickers are covering EPROM windows and not just stuck on a production chips. If they are in fact EPROMs, you'd have a much stronger case for it being a prototype.

Can you post some pics of the game being played? From my experience, the most common differences found in prototypes have to do with dates/text on the title screen. Have you tried to compare the two?

Cool little find, especially for free. Congrats on the pick-up.

Those look like production ROMS with stickers over them. The indentations on each side of the ROM chips give them away, but it just looks like a production one to me.

I guess that was a review copy or something.

I agree, they are definitely not EPROMs. I suppose they could be EEPROMs or Flash chips but are most likely production ROMs.
