So after a fellow lemming pointed me to the digital version. I threw 10 dollars away to find out… that it appears to be identical to the proto rom (and the gameplay footage).

Plausible more content was added or something, but the early gameplay is identical complete with the “you can’t use this yet”

So, the article appears to be a bit wrong in that… the game was finished ages ago… just no one wanted to invest the money to release it.
