Version labelled SAMPLE Virtual On Dreamcast<<What is this game I have?

[y9784]

Feel free to move this thread if I placed it in the wrong sub-forum.

I have a sealed Virtual On Oratorio Tangram for the Japanese Dreamcast.

What is strange about it is that there is a label with the word Sample slapped onto the front of the case. There isn't a spine card as there are in most Japanese disc-based games I've seen. On the spine, I see the game SKU is HDR-0040. On the back, in the upper right corner, it has the same SKU with several numbers following; HDR-0040 673-00704.

Has anyone heard about this version? Is it a copy presented directly by the publisher but not sold in stores?
