Piko Interactive also confirmed that it has other releases planned on Twitter.

This comes after a bit of a misunderstanding about a prototype Glover N64 rom. Piko Interactive teased and is working on a Kickstarter campaign. It then came up that a rom appeared with a bug fix. It was then that the company confirmed it would prepare a Kickstarter with an N64 cartridge that would have a bug-free version of the game.

As part of the events, the company said it would release copies of game builds to aid preservation efforts. This new-to-the-public Glover N64 rom is among those efforts.

Glover debuted on the Nintendo 64 and PC in 1998. A PlayStation version followed in 1999.
