A video demonstration of the unreleased Pac-Man Ghost Zone for the Sony PlayStation.
Notes
- This is a short video demonstration of a prototype for the game which features a variety of clips showing the game in action, and the opening cinematic.
- This build matches the demo used at E3 1997.
- Pressing START, X, or L3 skips the videos and restarts the demo.
- L70S00.VB contains 3 unused sounds that would have been used in this demo, but these sounds can be heard in some other E3 footage on the game.
- The EXE does not seem to be like the usual simple dedicated STR movie player from the SDK's sample that a lot of demo discs use as base, it has extra code from the libs they developed for Pac-Man Ghost Zone.
- There's code to playback SEQ data which is for sequenced music, interesting because Pac-Man World used VAGs to do music. The code itself looks different compared to the one from the SDK's LIBSND.LIB, so probably Namco Hometek developed their own lib.
- There's an exception handler and seems to be the same as the one found in Pac-Man World.
- Like Pac-Man World it has hardcoded file locations, probably to not do TOC seeking, which would make file reading slower.
