A public fundraiser to secure various Sega Saturn/PlayStation 1 prototype discs was conducted sometime in 2020 by the Obscure Gamers community. The builds available for purchase were primarily used for magazine reviews and previews somewhere in the PAL region. This release also contains a few PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable builds as well. A total of around 15 discs were acquired and dumped. The dumps were released on April 2nd, 2021.
