Spiritual Warfare...?

Alright, so I was updating my list of what NES games I have, when I finally decided I'd open up my few Wisdom Tree games and see what versions they were.  Joshua was v6.0, and the Bible Adventures I have was v1.3...  Looking at NGD's truly awesome NES list, I was very certain my Spiritual Warfare was a v6.0, as it was a black cart with a black back label.  Or so I thought...

Upon opening it...I was more than shocked to see, of all things, EPROMs, with uncovered windows.  On one EPROM was written in pencil, "SSV", while on the other, a small white sticker (again, not covering the window) had a printed "SC5" on it.  Have I somehow discovered a proto, or a(nother) variant?  I'd post pics, but I'm not sure how bad my camera's flash would affect the EPROMs (though I covered them temporarily with the corners of a Priority Mail sticker...gotta love the US Postal Service...but is that enough to protect them for one or two camera flashes?)...

Edit:  I noted the back of the board says "©1991 Color Dreams Inc", as well as "BC5"...

2nd Edit! :  As it turns out, I actually have another Spiritual Warfare, tested (by play on my top-loader NES) and proven to be v6.1.  Unusually, though (and also unlisted on NGD's list)...this one has a standard black label (not the embossed back, as the list would otherwise indicate).  So did I turn up another variant somehow?

    Lots of unlicensed games used EPROMS cause they didn't make enough to actually go into production. All the Panesian games for instance use EPROMS.

    NGD:  Ah, I see.  But still, it shows no indication of version number or anything...  The pencil writing seems a bit unusual, as well.  (Btw...edited the original post.)

    It should show the version number on the title screen if you give it a moment. I'm thinking you might have a 5.0 or 5.1

    Here is what I've run into myself:

    Version 6.0

    Version 6.1



    Like NGD said, EPROMs are very common in unlicensed games.

    BTW, if that is a 5.0 or 5.1 (or anything besides 6.0 and 6.1 for that matter), would you consider loaning or selling it to me to be dumped? I don't think it has been yet.

    I think I have a 5.1 Bootgod.

    BootGod:  If it is a 5.x, I could loan it to you.  I've traded with you before, I think...over at DP, I bought a cart-only Solitaire from you image .  Can't sell it, though...it's the only Spiritual Warfare I have at all (edit:  found another, but it's a different variant, so I can't sell either one :/ )...

    Just tested it...it said "SC-5.1" at the bottom of the first screen.  I'm guessing that means I have v5.1, am I correct?

    Edit:  Just edited my original post...v6.1 with an actual back label...?

    Yep that would be a 5.1 image If you could loan it to me, that would be cool! I can pay for shipping and what not and you'd get credit for the dump of course. PM me if your interested (either of you!)
