PS1 Abe's Oddysee Demo - Prereleased Main Menu
 

I'm back today bring you something cool! : )

I've noticed weird thing when opened ePSXe with Abe's Oddysee Demo ISO... :)
Taked look with HEX editor and found out more screens than imaged.
I found address inside memory that decides what screen is shown after death.
Normally i can view 3-4 screens without cheat's:
- Screen that Introducting at beginning when starting ISO (Abe's Oddysee '97, etc)
- Normal first opening screen
- Loading screen (Beta also, but changed in full version)
- GameSpeak

I was amazed that there is laying more screens in Main menu:

- Controller screen -a weird screen with odd controller and Abe with "dunno" move. Out of ideas with this screen.
- Old Load game screen (It seems there is 16 block too in memory card? and looking "slightly" different)
- Prerelease note (comes normally in NTSC version of demo)

I was mostly interested about the prerelease note, it's makes me feel like they knew that someone would eventually find it in the future. Weird.

I know that it's most likely to be just a screen that used to show for testers or someone else but commented out in the demo. Still cool.

BTW nice video, I always look forward to new stuff you've found on oddworld, you never cease to please! :p

Hmmm... why not explore PC version too... :D
But change to found something in that version is smaller than PSX version... :(

Edit: Nothing found in PC version demo, execpt two screens that crashe's when i view them... =/

The controller screen is cool, I don't think I've seen a tribal glukkon before.

I haven't seen the slig or slog glyphs before either.

Nice.

Very nice find.

LOOK AT THOSE GLYPHS! Slig, slog, glukkon, those are new to me!

those glyphs can also be found in the original game but the thing is they are harder to see than these,probably higher quality or unedited :)

Where to?

On the menu screens or in game?

on the main menu,look around abe and you will see these glyphs,these are mutch lighter and brighter to see than the original,cuz the original is darkened and shadowed.
I discovered them when i looked around the main menu,and afther that it was "wtf? how is that doing there,12 years of playing the game and i noticed them right now"

edit:i found my old ps1 abes oddysee and i have that two player screen,but the only thing it does is when you die you have to go on the second controller.and that stereo mono was i think for the sounds but it doesnt work on my epsx emulator.

I remember when I first got the game I was just learning to read and write and chose two player because I hadn't a clue what I was doing. I was completly confused as to why the game wouldn't continue after I died. I thought it was just a game mode where you only had 1 life.

yeah :) did you find the glyphs at the main menu?
