Don't worry dude, we dump all our protos as soon as we get them.

Qix and Herb:  Yeah, the Solomon's Key 2 is definitely a different build than the PAL release and different than Fire and Ice, I noticed some text differences in the first few seconds of game play (beginning spelled "biginning").  Not sure how different, but different.

As far as I know, there are maybe 3-4 Solomon's Key 2 protos floating around that are known, a few different labels and from a few different regions.  Even as a "common" proto, 1 in 5 is still rare as balls. There is another Caveman Ninja proto with the same label as ours, except it is PAL and the label is upside down

I'll get these guys dumped and upload some shots of interesting gameplay stuffs this weekend, thanks for checking out the thread!

For what it's worth I had a Rodland proto with that same label and it was the PAL version. I sold it, god, 7 years ago? The package was ripped open en route and the cart disappeared though.

I also had a Solomon's Key 2 proto around the same time, it is dumped and floating around. I posted screenshots of all the text differences on theredeye.net back in 2001, but that page is long gone.
