A prototype of WarGames: Defcon 1 for the PlayStation.

Notes

  • An NTSC-U build dated nearly two months before the final.
  • Starts with an intro video which is different to the one used in the final.
  • Loading screens are slightly unfinished and do not include a loading bar.
  • Has "Alpha" on the upper-left corner of the title screen.
  • The logo on the title screen looks a bit different.
  • The campaign type and level are not captioned on the main menu, and each use different icons.
  • Has no music.
  • The icons on the options menu are unfinished and look quite primitive.
  • All missions appear to be enabled by default and selectable from the beginning, with the exception that the final level asks you to enter a code into the passgrid. The effects of using the grid appear to cause visual glitches.
  • A number of text strings are different - e.g. "SELECT A LEVEL" rather than "SELECT MISSION".
  • The in-game HUD is quite different.
  • Has a crash handler screen which can be seen by loading certain levels.
  • Contains a .MAP file.

    • Game is emulatable: Yes (as of April 17, 2021).
    • Game contains dongle protection: No.
    • Game contains debugging symbols: Yes
    • Dump was originally scrambled: No
