Today we’re adding three very early Kick Off 3: European Challenge prototype builds for the SEGA Mega Drive, which are not playable and just showcase part of the main game graphics and unused menus and graphics that never made the final cut.
These are dated from around February 1994, and long before the final release. The main logo is completely different and the menus also have completely different graphics.
For the Pitch-based demo, you just have a set of player sprites walking on the spot, and where you can move a set of players in unison to scroll the pitch around. There seems to be unused panel graphics, and its likely the player sprites have differences too.
For the other two prototypes, these seem to be almost identical, and we couldn’t see any differences – though they demonstrate the menu system that was proposed for the game, where you can interact with options to change their status, but the menu items don’t really do anything or lead to an actual game from what we can see.
If you spot anything else, please let us know and hope you enjoy exploring them!
