The game is 99% identical to the released version, but the CHR/PRG roms are different than the final. After comparing the data, one of the mini games is actually harder to complete in the prototype. There are 2 known to exist. DreamTR owns one of them.

Contrary to popular belief, there are still only 2 of these prototypes found. The original one found at a record shop in Florida was sold to Mike Gedeon of Video Game Connections in Ohio for $100, then sold on Ebay for $995. The other prototype was purchased by DreamTR for $700. The later levels on DreamTR's proto are not fully complete, but are nearly complete on the other cart. Airball was a game planned by Tengen, engineered by Novotrade. Due to the cost of a special board needed to make the game, Airball was soon dropped.
