A prototype of Dementium: The Ward for Nintendo DS.

Originally released as a prototype of "Dementium: The Ward", it is unclear if the build is indeed a prototype of this game or a post-release build used to test a new map that ended being the one used and seen in the build of the unreleased "Griff Wild" game. Said map is automatically loaded after beating the first boss, softlocking anyone playing the build without actually modifying it to restore the original room that is supposed to be at this moment of the game.

For context, the "Griff Wild" prototype was released on internet before Codebound release, and depsite coming from a completely different source, the build were confirmed identical, and so Codebound removed it from the final release this build came from.

A prototype of Dementium II for Nintendo DS.

Depsite being labeled as being "6 months older than release", the game appear to be relatively close to the final game, only having a few bugs that weren't in the final game and also a few unused data (Unused office full of ammo, etc).

Dev cheats can be enabled by pressing "Select". While the full effect are unclear, one of the most visible result of enabling it is that all weapons get unlocked when activating the cheats.

Codebound Game Magazine Review 2024 Lot

2024-12-08T21:43:53Z

Codebound:

[[Has article type::Lot| ]]
[[File:Codebound Game Magazine Review 2024 Lot.jpg|right|frameless]]
In 2024, Two distinct lot of game build, mainly Playstation 1 and Sega Saturn games, were shared to Hard4Games for dumping, potential review and release. Both of the lot were originally coming from discs used by Game Magazine for review, the first lot was sold by his original owner to the Retro Taku Video Games Store and then shared to H4G, the other was acquired by a an individual collector named Jack Jeskey and then shared to H4G. After working on dumping those two lots, everyone involved accepted the idea of getting those builds released to the public and the build were donated to the Codebound group, who then started to release them.

Additionnally, a few WiiU builds for Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, coming from WiiU Discs and buyed from an ebay auction where dumped at the exact same time, and as the group photo were displaying them, Codebound team decided that those prototype will get release at the same time after the builds of this lot.

}}
A late prototype of NHL Powerplay 98 for the PlayStation, Developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Virgin Interactive, dated July 31, 1997, 5 days before the final version.
The disc is labeled with "70801.1" in the date field, but looking at other released prototypes for this game, this is the version number for the build.

This prototype has no visisble differences when compared to the final version, but there are differences in the files. However, the disc it originated from was damaged and thus the dump is not perfect, so some of the changes in files can possibly be attributed to this.
Additionally, another disc came in the same lot, labeled "NHL 98 ART", which contained a single 45MB image file for use in the magazine that received the prototype for review. You can view it here : [[NHL Powerplay '98 Press Asset disc]]

An asset disc sent to the press along the late prototype of NHL Powerplay 98 fron July 30,1997.

Despite the label saying it should contain a logo and main art, the disc only contained a single 45MB image file, probably for use in the magazine that received the prototype for review.

A late prototype of Civilization II for the PlayStation 1, dated November 30, 1998. This prototype is close to final but still contains a few differences when compared to the final version.
==Notes==
* Different title screen. Game allows you to pick a new game and start immediately with a new Civilization, instead of forcing you into a tutorial like the final.

Other differences are not immediately apparent, but there may be more beyond that.

* Many of the level layouts are extremely early with barely any texturing.
* No music in many levels.
* Debug display enabled.
* Miscellaneous Notes:
** Game is emulatable: Yes (as of March 10, 2024).
** Game contains dongle protection: No.

|external=https://archive.org/details/monkey-hero-november-30-1998-prototype-playstation-1
}}
A prototype of Monkey Hero for the PlayStation, Developed by Blam! and Published by T2. This prototype is dated November 30, 1998, 2 months before the final version.
==Notes==
* Different Take 2 logo. Says copyright 1998 instead of copyright 1999 and logo itself is different.
* Text when starting a new game says "Memory Card" instead of "MEMORY CARD" like in final.
* Final game starts you with 4 peaches, prototype starts you with 3.
* The final game has unused text that says the name of the developer, computer it was built on, and date/time it was built on. In the prototype, that string reads "Created by gmarquez on "POOHBEAR" on Monday November 30 1998 at 10:41:15 AM", while the final game's equivalent is "Created by lpique on "DOGBERT" on Wendsday February 3 1999 at 4:28:15 PM".

There are likely differences further in the game, but in our testing we only played the first section of the game.
