Alien Olympics PC prototypes

Some prototypes for the PC now, and with Alien Olympics, which was released on the platform by Mindscape in 1994. These are two particular builds from 10/08/94 and 05/10/94. As you would expect, there are significant differences between the two builds.

The earliest has the titles, but is missing all the final presentation screens and has a different name selection element and no character select screen. Most of the events are also missing, and some of those present are not quite finished or heavily bugged (the game will crash at some points).

Second prototype is much more advanced and features pretty much all of the events, though some may crash out and complain of missing graphics files occasionally (depending on the character you choose). The menus are closer to the final version, though as with the first prototype – there is no sound at all.

There could well be a lot more content that is different, including graphical changes and tweaks/bug fixes compared with the final release (which is quite obscure to find). If you notice anything majorly different, please feel free to get in touch and we’ll update this page.

With a huge thank you to Mark Greenshields for allowing us to preserve these prototypes.
