A prototype of Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge for PlayStation.

Notes

  • There is (seemingly) full source code for this build backed up.
  • This code is (likely) the first build where PC & PSX code started to share common code.
  • It's also the first PC build to use fixed point math.
  • This prototype CD image was built using mkpsxiso with files found in a source code backup.
  • There is a language select screen despite this being an NTSC build.
  • The main menu has progresed to a point where it resembles the final game.
  • There is a level select in the new main menu.
  • Has sounds, but no music.
  • There is a debug bar at the bottom of the screen during gameplay.
  • Frogger no longer can take several hits before dying.
  • Pause menu now contains "Restart Level" option.
  • Konami coins do not animate anymore.
  • Many of the levels which did not make it into the final version have been cut.
  • Upon completing a level, you are prompted to "choose your frog". This appears to have been a branching path option, where you could play as either Frogger or Lillie.
  • Multiplayer now has a character selection screen.
