Extremely early build of Hitman: Absolution, when the game was originally labelled under "The Angry Man" & "The Homeless Hitman". Agent 47 kills his handler Diana Burnwood, and domino-effects his downfall, thus becoming homeless. There are small snippet screens of this game, and Agent 47 actually grew a beard at one point. Also drinking alcohol at a bar, showing a more humane 47.

The v1.40 PAL version of Grand Theft Auto III was mistakenly released by Rockstar Games. A few things proving this is listed below.

Brad pedestrian says "I designed the PS2!" from time to time. Official, real-life gaming consoles are not canon in GTA games, this was place-holder dialogue, and not meant for the official, initial v1.40 NTSC release.

The Dodo clips into a building right across from the Portland Police Station/Sweeney Medical Clinic. This is due to the flight-paths still correlating to the early beta flight-paths, before a building was ever put across the Police Station/Medical Clinic.

Catalina has extra beta lines that were cut in the initial release during the mission "The Exchange".

Game won't allow you to progress to 100% unless completing the Paramedic side-mission 2 extra times.

Police Station/Medical Clinic tutorials are not skippable.

The intro has the beta light-blue police cars, which were removed due to September 11th, 2001. Rockstar Games would not keep these in the intro, if they made the police cars black and white. This is a very late beta version.
==Notes==
This is 100% a prototype, mistakenly released by Rockstar Games. v1.40 for NTSC is the original intended release by Rockstar Games, not v1.40 PAL.

Global Star Software released a Demo in December of 2001 of Grand Theft Auto 2. It was labelled as Grand Theft Auto, but the menu has the GTA2 menu, but without 2 on it. Looks similar to the GameBoy Color port of GTA2, but this version was quickly discontinued. Very little is known of this port.

https://web.archive.org/web/20011201213714/http://globalstarsoftware.com/gta_pos/index.html

Differences

Off the bat the music is different than the GBC port of GTA2.

Title screen has the blank "Grand Theft Auto" logo without the 2.

Tux on the Run is an early version of the popular open-source platformer game SuperTux. This Milestone 1 build features the first world, Icyland, with 27 levels and a final boss. (http://www.steinke.net/tux.php)

Game Information:

* Development Start: Summer 1999 (earliest file dated May 3rd, 1999, at 6:23 AM)

* Release Date: 2000 (approximate)

* Developer: SuperTux Team

* Platform: Initially released for Linux, but can be compiled for other platforms.

Development Story:

Tux on the Run was a precursor to the well-known open-source game SuperTux. This early version showcases the game's humble beginnings and provides an interesting look at how the game evolved over time. The earliest known file dates back to May 1999, indicating that the game's development started at least during the summer of that year.

Inspirations:

The penguin character design in Tux on the Run bears a striking resemblance to the penguin character in IceBlox, a 1996 open-source puzzle game. This similarity suggests that the developers of Tux on the Run may have been inspired by IceBlox. (and from IceBlox, it seemed to have been inspired by Pengo from 1982, so in all actuality, if it wasn't for Pengo from 1982, the well known open-sourced platformer SuperTux would never have been made. Pretty interesting to think about!)

These early ALPHA photos were found on the Internet Archive, and are being put here as a preservation to the development of Bud Redhead - The Time Chase. At this time, around April 6, 2001, the game was called Project "B". It says it is a "working title", and by obvious assumption, the "B" in Project "B" must stand for Project Bud.
==Notes==
In the Forest level, the sky is completely black, with zero background. The level itself looks completely different in terms of geography too.

Egypt looks different as well, and it looks like a... piece of cheese collectable was in the game?

The bats in the Castle level are brown in this early-mid alpha. In the Castle windows, the sky is completely black.

The Spaceship level seems to have another set of coin collectables, which look dark brown.

Anony: Closer to the Forest level we know and love. The amount of lives are shown right above the health bar instead of to the left next to it, with Bud's face missing. The tracker of all that you collected is invisible and unfinished. The score tracker does not say below what level you are on at this point. The caterpillar is green instead of purple in the initial release.
