Taz ?-??-83

 

This is an interesting early version of Taz.  Although the gameplay is all there, there are some missing elements such as a two player mode, and all the food past apple cores.  Yep, the turnip, tomato, sundae, and pie are all missing.  Steve must have added them in later on to pad out the game a little.


Prototype Differences
There is no title screen at all!  The game starts with the gameplay demo.
There is no two player option
There is a 0 instead of a 1 for the game variation on the demo screen
There is no sound for Taz hitting the dynamite
Taz doesn't momentarily get larger when he hits the dynamite
There is no sound for getting an extra life
There is no Crazed Wave notification screen, although the game does speed up
The food maxes out at apple cores.  The turnip, tomato, sundae, and pie are all missing
The root beer mugs are a darker brown
The coloring on the top and bottom 'triangles' is slightly different

 

This is how the game starts

 

The mugs are a darker brown

 

Note the subtle shading differences on the top and bottom

  
I should have been on sundaes by now
