Of the released prototypes, this is easily the least exciting prototype of the lot. It's merely a interactive menu mock-up for the help menus, lacking any sound and only featuring barebones menus. Despite being 512 KB, the entire thing fits nicely in 64 KB. From ROM address 0x40000 onward, there is a bunch of random garbage.

  • There are no instructions shown for how to use the guide.
  • Accessories is referred here as Peripherals.
  • The Coming Soon section is in the channel guide, for some inexplicable reason.
  • When selecting Game Ratings, only five titles appear at a time. Rather than allowing the player to scroll with the Up and Down buttons, they must select Back or More. To go back to the main Channel Guide menu, the player selects Main rather than Go Back.
  • Videogame Rating Council Ratings is just Game Ratings here.
