What are the serial numbers? Perhaps you have a test game, or at least
the glass for one. Sometimes, there would be a large time lag between
the end of the design phase and going into mass production. KISS must
have had a longer production run than they planned, which would have
pushed out the schedule of later games. I can believe that it is (was)
legal to move the copyright date ahead to 1980 for the production run.
