Dated September 3, 1996, this was another prototype released by drx during the February 23, 2008 proto release.

General Differences

  • The opening FMV now has its music start at the Traveller's Tales logo, and its palette now changes when called for, but the screen height is still 160 pixels, is a bit faster than in 94, and has one extra frame before the title screen.
  • The music doesn't stop if the opening is skipped.
  • The title screen matches the final, but lacks the trademark.
  • No sound effect plays when the title screen pops up.
  • All demos have been implemented.
  • Level select is disabled by default. The final code has been implemented.
  • The good ending still plays the credits music throughout, but its entirety has now been implemented.

Aesthetic Differences

The menu backdrop has brighter colors in this prototype exclusively. This isn't actually a palette change, but rather just the shadow & highlight mode failing to activate on this screen.
