What’s interesting about most of the Xbox prototypes is just how many of them are actually unreleased. Ironically, since the Xbox is a bit of a Dreamcast spiritual successor of sorts, we have quite a few really interesting prototypes of some Sega developed titles too! We have a really nice prototype of Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller, ToeJam & Earl III (why are there so many prototypes of this game?!), Jet Set Radio Future, Sega GT, and Gun Valkyrie! Some other notable prototypes - a really nice prototype of Psychonauts which is currently the earliest prototype available, Rogue Ops, Room Zoom: Race for Impact (under the title Micro Mayhem), and much more! We also have prototypes of unreleased games such as The Red Star, US Open 2003, and The Vatz.

We have an unreleased English localization of Dinosaur Hunting: Ushinawareta Daichi, which was originally going to be published by Metro 3D sometime in late 2003 but was cancelled shortly after for unknown reasons. In this part of the lot, we have an unreleased Xbox port of American Idol, Hail to the Chimp (which would be released on the 360), He-Man: Defender of Grayskull, and Pac-Man World Rally. It’s somewhat fitting too, since the Xbox was a spiritual successor to the Dreamcast in a way. Next, however, we have a very nice collection of Microsoft Xbox prototypes! From unreleased games, early prototypes, tech demos, localization prototypes, debugging builds, and some near final builds with debugging features enabled, this part of the lot has you covered. As of writing, we have currently gone over almost 4000 discs with absolutely no end in sight. Following that, we released over 500 PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and Philips CD-i prototypes combined. In the beginning, we released almost 800 unique prototype builds for the PlayStation 2. Each item was then lightly documented and given a general overview of some of the main interesting facts about the item in question. Each item in the lot was assessed by a team of dedicated individuals for playability and integrity on both software (via emulation) and hardware when necessary. This has been made possible through the dedication of only one extremely kind individual, who has taken on the herculean task of dumping every single thing in the lot by themselves. Continuing with our efforts with Project Deluge, today we present over 349 Microsoft Xbox prototypes and 135 Sega Dreamcast prototypes! From unreleased games to early builds, this lot continues to be fruitful.Īs a recap, Project Deluge is an ongoing project to archive and assess all of the items featured in a lot of video game development material that has been gathered over the course of many years.
