I've always wondered if my KFS proto was worth jack squat from a collector's POV, so I thought I'd describe it and solicit your opinions.

The proto comes in a plain jewelbox with a photocopy of the game's logo, on thick red paper, as the front liner.

The CD isn't a CD-R, but a "mass-produced" silver CD with no label, and the following text along the inner ring:

KEIO 11-14-94 R1J MFD BY JVC

I don't know if there are any differences between the proto and the retail version (which I haven't had in a long time), although the proto seems very much complete. The option screen says "BOTTONS" instead of "BUTTONS", but I don't recall if the retail version had the same typo.

Is this just a curiosity, or a treasure?

The final version has the same "BOTTONS" typo.

But hey, even if the proto isn't notable, Keio Flying Squadron is so rare that any version of the game is worth something.
