SNES prototype releases

[snescentral]

With this thread, I'm hoping to keep track of SNES prototypes releases. This will hopefully make it easier to find the sources of prototypes, which up to this point has been pretty chaotic. This thread will have a starting date of June 2, 2019, anything released before that will not be on here (though I will eventually try to post such information on SNES Central).

• Big Sky Trooper (5-23 prototype, dumped by The Video Game History Foundation and Nostalgia Alley, released on SNES Central)
• Special Tee Shot (near complete prototype, dumped by Trevor McAleesse, released on SNES Central)
• Super Ninja Boy (localization prototype, dumped and released by Niiui on Hidden Palace)
• Striker (NTSC prototype, dumped and released by Niiui on Hidden Palace)

I just posted a near final build of Big Sky Trooper, dated May 5, 1995.

SNES Central: Big Sky Trooper

This is a late prototype of Big Sky Trooper.

I've been really bad about keeping this up to date. I have a few prototypes I have released over the past few days.

Lucky Luke - near final build

Jimmy Connors Pro Tennis Tour - probably a transitional version between the US and German releases

Magic Boy - this one is interesting because it has a completely different soundtrack from the final release.

Just posted a new prototype of Total Carnage. This one is interesting because it lacks the censorship that is in the final version of the game.

I imagine it is possible, but I do not have the skills to do it myself.
