A video demonstration of the unreleased Pac-Man Ghost Zone for the Sony PlayStation.
==Notes==
*This is a short video demonstration of a prototype for the game which features a variety of clips showing the game in action, and the opening cinematic.
*This build matches the demo used at [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKouaGJ4YFc E3 1997.]
*Pressing '''START''', '''X''', or '''L3''' skips the videos and restarts the demo.
*L70S00.VB contains 3 unused sounds that would have been used in this demo, but these sounds can be heard in some other [https://youtu.be/QKouaGJ4YFc?t=108 E3 footage] on the game.
*The EXE does not seem to be like the usual simple dedicated STR movie player from the SDK's sample that a lot of demo discs use as base, it has extra code from the libs they developed for Pac-Man Ghost Zone.
*There's code to playback SEQ data which is for sequenced music, interesting because Pac-Man World used VAGs to do music. The code itself looks different compared to the one from the SDK's LIBSND.LIB, so probably Namco Hometek developed their own lib.
*There's an exception handler and seems to be the same as the one found in Pac-Man World.
*Like Pac-Man World it has hardcoded file locations, probably to not do TOC seeking, which would make file reading slower.
