A prototype of Team Buddies for the PlayStation.

Notes

• An NTSC-J build dated a full seven months before the final.
• The intro cutscene is missing, as is the Midway logo screen.
• Features a much different title screen and different loading screens.
• The main menu uses a different layout, as does the options menu.
  • One of the options on the main menu is a tutorial, rather than the usual controls menu.
• When starting a single player game, you're immediately given four levels to choose from rather than being taken to an intermediate menu of gameplay modes.
• Some gamemodes do not appear to work.
• The OST is almost entirely different.
• This prototype only has a couple voicelines, and those voicelines are played more often.
• The textures are blockier and less detailed.
• Your other Buddie icons at the top right change color depending on what they're doing at the moment, rather than just being your team color.
• The Commando only has the ace card on his head, missing his hair, soldier getup, and camo pattern.
• The team select icons are different, they have different faces.
• The pause menu doesn't let you adjust options or controls, it only allows you to continue or exit.
• The item set is the same as World 1's in the final game, with some minor differences.
  • 1 crate gets you a shotgun in this build, but an Uzi in the final.
  • 2 horizontal crates get you an Uzi in this build, but a bomb in the final.
• Within the game's textures, there are a ton of unused mission/stage names.
• The game is dongle protected - hangs on a red screen on startup (Psygnosis title).
  • An .xdelta patch is included.
• Miscellaneous Notes:
  • Game is emulatable: Yes (as of April 17, 2021).
  • Game contains dongle protection: Patched.
  • Game contains debugging symbols: No
  • Dump was originally scrambled: No
