Maybe if it had a full Cabinet with side art / control panel / overlay
made for it, it can be considered "beyond the proto-type" stage and
into the "limited" production stage.
FWIW: Demon did have a cabinet made for it with a control panel and
generic "Rockola" side art. (I have one sitting in storage just
waiting for me to find a house to buy with a *big* garage.) And I
know you (Steve) have a board and on overlay for the game. See at
least one game was "produced". There were probably as many Demons and
War of the Worlds.
