I'm not really a big nes expert but take a look at this:

Here's a quote from the article:
"Well, if that game becomes a rom.. anyone *could* make it into a homemade cart. And sell for profit.
Thats why I want to hold on to it, I don't want that to happen."
That was the guy who found the only known copy of the game. If the article is right there'd be no possible way to make a copy of this game.
But I DID find a download for the rom which means it could be a copy.It seems the guy did release a rom. It's here:

I guess it really depends on where you got it. A flea market? Ebay? If you got it online I'd say there is a very high chance that it is a copy. Also, the number on your rom, NES-UN-07, intrigues me. I tried to find it but I could only find NES-UN-05.NES-UN-05 is used in Capcom games, which is a good sign. I don't know much more about prototype games so maybe someone else can give you some help.
Check my auctions here! I am in the business of finding off-beat things, including video game stuff!

According to the serial code on the chip, it should be Amagon. Probably fake, if it is not Amagon.
<Evan_G> i keep my games in an inaccessable crate where i can't play them
Check the soldered joints. Look fresh?
Gotchy:
Something doesn't add up here. What you have there is a ROM (not EPROM) for PRG. But california raisins was never mass produced!
Are you sure it's raisins? I think you are mistaken.
one time burn roms don't have a window but can still be wrote to that once. could be that
You can tell these aren't one time EPROMs because the PRG is stamped "PRG". This is done only with manufactured ROMs.
I know of people sellin the rasins game, both for $25-$27.50, i dunno what the insides of these carts look like but it's almost safe to say its a copy, but on that rare chance that it is a proto....good find, keep it either way
As I said, this is a pcb of the game Amagon.Originally Posted by leonk

I didn't look good on the picture untill now, Is that a little blue wire by pin 31?
If someone sold this to you, they ripped you off. As it has been stated, this is Amagon. That is not a little blue wire, that is a couple of traces being cut by sratching into the pcb. This means that the game has been doctored so that it would not work.
I'd test it before I went nuts about being ripped off, it might work.
