Lemmings (GB) Prototype

Oh what the hell, let's start the year off right.

Here's a prototype of Lemmings for the Gameboy. It was dumped from this cart:



As you can see it is dated May 19 1993. Now Wikipedia says the game was released in August 1994, but I dunno about that. Nintendo Power says it was coming "Fall 1993", and reviewed it in their October issue of that year.
Either way, this rom appears to be close to the final build. The file is a little different from the final rom though, so maybe someone can help spot any differences.

Gamefaqs is usually solid on release data, and they also have US release date as August 1994, but Japan and Europe as 1993. Maybe the US delayed it because of Jack Kevorkian lol.

Huh, I wonder why the long delay then... Something definitely happened since they did seem totally ready for a fall 93 release.
