Just putting some new findings here:

(please note that some of the user page stuff will be moved here)

Arcade

 * Even though Mug Smashers is an Italian made arcade game using the music and font from The Combatribes, there does seem to be at least something unused. There are Jump and Destroy signs that don't appear in the game but also something that is unused but might also not be. There are Dinunno versa spa Spain graphics next to the 3D Games England tiles that would have appeared on the title screen but do not show up. I wonder if there is a Spanish version of this game that hasn't been dumped or does it not exist at all?


 * Speaking of which, the three unused music tracks from The Combatribes (and also Mug Smashers but slightly different) have been found by others (its playable in Bridge M1) but not mentioned on the site. Note Track 021 sounds like it would have fitted on Stage 2.


 * World Rally findings - Early Presents graphics (before they are replaced by the Arial font in the final) and an unused ZXP logo.


 * Zaxxon has the unused ITC logo like Donkey Kong.


 * Operation Wolf has sprites of a woman hostage. Now is it unused since it does not appear in the game (but appears in home conversions/ports) or is it unemulated protection of the game? It does appear on this flyer though: http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=flyer&db=videodb&id=755&image=1


 * Endore Racer has an unused song in the YM2151 version but has two unused songs in the YM2203 version. Maybe the two versions might have a brief mention (since they have different sound chips and sound differently between the two). The Master System version has a region difference, the JP version has 10 stages compared to the 5 stages repeated twice in the US/EU/Brazil versions due to cartridge size.


 * Super Monaco GP has revisionial differences. Early versions had an altered Marlboro sign that was removed.
