A prototype of NiGHTS into Dreams for the Sega Saturn built for E3 1996.

Notes

  • Disc claims the disk is "40%" complete (60% scribbled off), possibly indicating that 40% of the final game's content is present.
  • There are some sector errors on this disc.
  • CD file time stamps appear to be using a fake date of May 13, 1996. The volume creation date is May 14, 1996. The main executable states the game was built "FOR SHOP" on May 12, 1996.
  • Spring Valley and Frozen Bell are playable. Puffy is used as the boss for Frozen Bell rather than Clawz.
  • The mirror effect in Puffy's stage is not implemented.
  • The power panel effects are not implemented.
  • Object placement differs from the final build, e.g. there are fewer star objects available.
  • Trick names do not appear when using the Trick Ribbon. The game data only has names for the loop tricks.
  • Elliot and Claris cannot hatch Nightopian eggs; only NiGHTS can.
  • A sleeping version of the Hollow enemy is present in Frozen Bell. It wakes up when it is approached.
  • A debug menu display routine and button handler is present in the game data. It is missing the "Dream Config" items that are present in the final game. It has a FIRST'S-PRIDES item that is not present in other builds. The debug menu flags can be set by altering address 060FFC1C.
  • The lighting on the Dreams screen can be changed by holding the second controller's left trigger and pressing up, down, left, or right on the second controller's D-pad.
  • The game data contains models for what appear to be character heads/helmets.
  • An unused time-extension item that uses the alarm egg model is present in the game data (video).
  • An incomplete Options menu is present in the game data. It contains listings for the scrapped "Self" boss and an unused "Reala returns" battle (details).
