File:Crash Bandicoot - E3 Beta Version, Part 1 N. Sanity Beach-3

Description
Are you ready for more Crash? This is a beta version of Crash Bandicoot that was released at E3 in May 1996, four months before the game was officially released. I did not know it existed until someone posted a comment about it on one of my videos. It's much closer to the finished product than the prototype version, but there are still quite a few differences, and apparently the third island is not included. There are already several videos showing these differences, so this will just be my playthrough.

This video shows the startup and first level and you can already see some basic gameplay differences. The best one is the music at the beginning of the stage. Aku Aku does not turn orange when you have two of him, Crash runs at normal speed during invincibility and there's no invincibility music. Other significant changes include the logo and title screen with its blue background. There's no intro video, but if you wait long enough at the title screen, you will see a demo of Jungle Rollers.

Since this is not a very important project, I will just upload a video every other day or so. With my current FFVII challenge, that should keep me busy with daily videos for the rest of the year.
