==Notes==
{{Tcrf link|Proto:Streets of Rage 2 (Genesis)}}

==Differences==
* The options menu sends you to an animation test screen.
* The player select screen is very different from the final game.
* Only Round 1 is playable.
* The prototype lacks sound effects, with the sections where those would be stored in the ROM being blanked out.
* The scrapped music track "Walking Bottom" is played throughout.
* The player cannot pick up weapons, even if they are within range.
* Max has a different sprite set and can vault enemies, which means he cannot perform his Atomic power throw.

<blockquote><q>To add insult to injury, we had our source code stolen by an employee at a computer dealer and distributed to the internet. Having your publisher call in the middle of the night (on my birthday, no less) screaming “WTF happened?! How could you let your source code get stolen?” It wasn’t a pleasant phone call. What followed was lots of footwork in MIRC, filing a lawsuit, US Marshals in an early morning bust, depositions, lawyers and money (they are synonymous) and other not-so-fun stuff. Ultimately, Monolith settled. That would never happen now that our Feds are somewhat more enlightened about software and source code theft.</q> - Nick Newhard, [https://web.archive.org/web/20240124154123/http://www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/900 April 2008]</blockquote>

==Notes==
*The engine for this game would later be used for other ID platformers, most notably Commander Keen.
*This would go on to inspire an actual demo based on Super Mario Bros. 3, which Nintendo would decline for any prospective PC ports.
*Also contains an early version of the TED editor used by ID to create levels
*Two levels are included to test both horizontal and vertical scrolling. The game normally goes to Level 1, which tests vertical scrolling. Level 2 tests horizontal scrolling and can only be accessed by renaming files.

An early prototype of '''''The Lion King''''' for the SNES.

==Notes==
* Boots to an extreme early version of the Stampede stage.
* Press B to jump, and pressing Select causes Simba's sprite to change into a stick figure, before falling off the screen
* Press R to freely move Simba, while L pauses Simba on his current frame of animation
* Simba's sprites are very early, mostly consisting of basic stick figures with only his walking animation containing actual art.
* Similarly most enemies have only stick figures
* Most levels contain art very different from the final version and mostly in unfinished states.
* To access the other stages, hold down R, L, Start, and Select together. Then, hold down on of the following combinations and let go of the other buttons:
** Using Player 1's controller:
*** L - Simba's Exile? (The art is completely placeholder in this level)
*** L + A - The Pridelands
*** L + B - Can't Wait to be King
*** L + X - Elephant Graveyard
** Using Player 2's controller:
*** L + A - Hakuna Matata
** Invalid combinations send the player back to the Stampede stage.
* No sound is present in this build. Despite this, the ROM has an error message not in the final game at 0x20A64 - "Error in Add_Sound Value out of range"

A prototype of Realms of Chaos for PC (MS-DOS).

==Notes==
* Requires the player to enter the password '''GENESIS''' on the initial boot-up screen. A crack made by SLAPP removed this check.
* Most, if not all, of the art is in 16 colors, despite requiring a VGA adapter. The final game uses 256-color palettes.
* Uses the Monster Bash engine. It's not quite clear whether the final game uses a different engine or whether VGA support was added to the FAST engine.
