Proto:Grand Theft Auto 2 (Windows)/Demo V8.9

To do: List more differences.

Before the release of Grand Theft Auto 2, a pre-release demo was released by Rockstar in September 1999. In this demo, you're placed in the Commercial district with a bellyful of explosives and six whole minutes of playtime. The Demo version is still able to be download but is outdated, with it only working on Windows 7 or earlier.

General Differences

Spawn Point

Proto	Final

On the left side, you spawn in Fruitbat. The missions the loonies gave you from top to bottom are Radio Za-Za! and Pizza Cake.

Ending

When 6 minutes pass, you will die in a large explosion, ending the demo.

Other Differences

• It is impossible to gain access to the Suburban & Industrial districts without external code.
• The game mostly uses the Grand Theft Auto weapon set: the Pistol, Flamethrower, Rocket Launcher, and Machine Gun, plus the new Molotov Cocktail.
• Bullets go through stairs due to a programming error which removes bullet collision with stairs.
• There is no radio whatsoever.
• NPCs don't use machine guns, flamethrowers, or rocket launchers. The exception of Molotov cocktails is in the mission "Radio Za Za!", as the loonies throw said weapons at you.
• After a bloodshed, there is less gore. An example is no blood pools.
• Some NPCs are missing. Particularly the naked man.
• Depending on the quality of your PC performance, sound bugs (no audio, static) may occur uncommonly.

Setup Wizard

To do: This looks like the Setup Wizard from the released game? Need to compare/contrast the differences if any exist.

There is a setup wizard during bootup. The options are:

1. Welcome
   • To this day, the only language you can pick here is English (British).
   • Text speed. Ranging from 1-5.
2. Video
   • Maximum Frame Rate. Normal speed.
   • Minimum Frame Rate. The framerate goes faster than Sonic the Hedgehog when you choose this!
   • Lighting. Choose from noon to dusk.
   • Gamma Value. Increases brightness.
   • Display Mode. Ranges from Window to Full Screen.
   • Screen options. Purpose is currently unknown.
   • Special Recognition. Used incase your PC has "special" drivers.
3. Audio
   • Effects Volume. Increases volume of SFX.
   • Music Volume. Quite unnecessary because of the lack of music tracks in the prototype.
4. Controls.
   • Default Keyboard.
   • "Classic" Keyboard.
   • Controller.
