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