A prototype of the unreleased Moon Warrior for the Sony PlayStation.
==Notes==

*Moon Warrior is an unreleased PlayStation (PSX) game by SCE Studio Cambridge, developed concurrently to MediEvil 2. It was the brainchild of Tameem Antoniades, who revealed in a [https://www.nme.com/features/gaming-features/ninja-theorys-tameem-antoniades-following-the-pack-has-never-worked-for-us-3155301 2022 interview with NME] that it was based on films such as ''Once Upon A Time In China'' and further described it as "Metal Gear, but Kung Fu." It is unknown when the game was cancelled, but it is speculated there may be later builds.
*The case displays a URL, http://moonwarrior.camb.scee.sony.co.uk/. It is speculated this was an internal website which hosted internal development documents and sketches, similar to known websites for Frogger and Tax Man.
*The game automatically loads the first level upon bootup.
*This prototype contains only 2 levels. '''KING'S GARDENS''' and '''WAREHOUSE2'''.
*The player model looks to be a bit unfinished as his head and his hands are untextured.
*There's a cube in the first level. This was probably used for testing purposes. It looks very similar to the blocks which comprise the unused 'QB.MAP' in [https://tcrf.net/Frogger_(1997) Frogger], a game created by the same developers a few years prior.
*The player can't move in the second level. The player cycles through his attacking animations. You can explore the map using the debug camera.

===Controls===

The '''D-Pad''' is a bit unfinished. Pressing '''Up''' on the '''D-Pad''' plays a walking animation.

*Press '''START''' to pause the game and bring up a debug menu.
*Press and hold '''SELECT''' to slow down the game. (Perhaps this is taking a screenshot?)
*Use the '''Left Analog Stick''' to move.
*Use the '''Right Analog Stick''' to look around.

Moveset:

*Press '''X''' to kick.
*Press '''Square''' to punch.
*Press '''Circle''' to jump.
*Press '''L2''' or '''R2''' while moving to shuffle left and right.
*Press '''R1''' to toggle a debug camera.
*Press '''R2''' to toggle some sort of magic ability.
*Press '''R3''' to rotate the camera 180°
*Pressing '''L3''' plays an audio file: '''"For your crimes you will feel the sting of Shao Lin."'''

Pressing '''Square''' followed by '''X''' activates a debug animation where the player tries to strangle a person, but the person flips the player over. This can be confirmed by performing this move on the NPC who looks like the player character, who will perform a responding animation.

===Miscellaneous Notes===

*Game is emulatable: Yes (as of April 4, 2022).
*Game contains dongle protection: No.
*Game contains debugging symbols: No.
