A prototype of Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft for the PlayStation.
Notes
- An NTSC-U build dated half a month before the final.
- The game is missing the EIDOS logo animation in the startup sequence, as well as the introductory FMV animation for the game.
- In the "New Game" menu, the player can choose which level they wish to enter.
- On the sound options menu, a track number and current track position is displayed. The L1 and R1 buttons switch which track is playing.
- For high enough IDs, audio dialogue will be played instead.
- There is no limit to how high or low the track number can go, and so you can listen to negative track IDs using this menu.
- The preceeding v.10.13 build did not appear to include this feature, nor does the succeeding v.10.20 build.
- Loading bars are missing on loading screens.
- A number of the loading screens are unfinished.
- This can be easily seen with the Jungle loading screen, as the building looks much more clean than it does in the final, which has a much more aged looking building.
- Furthermore, the Lara's Home loading screen is the one from Tomb Raider 2.
- The music is on by default in Lara's Home, rather than only turning on when the player presses a button in the house.
- There is a constant grating sound effect in Lara's Home. It seems to go away when pausing and unpausing, but quickly returns once the player starts moving.
- The assault course timer in Lara's Home only has one decimal place, instead of two.
- When standing in the final section of the assault course in Lara's Home, Lara constantly repeats the phrase "Now it's time for our third adventure".
- When picking up an item, an icon of that icon appears in the bottom right corner of the screen. For most items this is a rotating 3D model, though for guns, a slightly strange looking 2D sprite of that gun appears instead. Several items appear to have particularly strangely or glitchy models.
- Skyboxes often have huge black holes at the top which can only be seen from certain angles, e.g. when climbing ladders.
- Miscellaneous Notes:
- Game is emulatable: Yes (as of April 17, 2021).
- Game contains dongle protection: No.
- Game contains debugging symbols: No
- Dump was originally scrambled: No
