Chrono Trigger Prototype
Developer: Square
Publisher: Square
Released: N/A (Unreleased prototype), Super Nintendo
A prototype of Chrono Trigger (SNES), presumably used at trade shows and/or by reviewers, that was eventually leaked and released on the internet. It's in a fairly complete state, but still contains a lot of extremely interesting data hinting at numerous concepts dropped in the final game.
In comparison between the prototype and the final, many items were re-done, numerous graphics were altered/added/removed entirely, the music was polished up (with new songs added and some early ones deleted altogether), and the world as a whole underwent several design changes, some major, some minor.
Perhaps most interestingly of all, however, are the presence of several dungeons that were removed entirely from the final! These include an entire area underneath the sealed ruins north of Medina, a strange series of catacombs under Zeal Castle, and most intriguingly of all... the Singing Mountain!
This prototype is truly a treasure for Chrono Trigger fans!
