I already posted a topic for this on BZP, so I'll just copy and paste it to here to save time...

Found some beta screenshots of LEGO Stunt Rally on the internet today. The ones you see here are not all of them, there are many more. However, they contain a website address that isn't exactly appropriate so I have to edit it out by hand (Explaining the black box in the upper left corner). I will do the rest later. But here are 3 to start with:









Notice the different icon on Radium's truck in that last one...

Now, the topic title also said beta DISK. After a Google search, it seems that some museum in New York has one on display...

http://www.museumofp...amp;o=109.16767

Not sure if the screenshots are from the same build as the one on the disk. But even so, they are both very interesting. Now, I wonder if it is possible to somehow purchase this disk from the museum, or get access to it long enough to get gameplay? (This is starting to sound like the Legend of Mata Nui Videos topic in the Bionicle Software forum, and I haven't even hit the "Post New Topic" button yet... )

So yeah, discuss this here. I'll get more edited screens up soon (Hopefully tomorrow or the next day). Also, if anybody has ideas on how to somehow gain access to this disk, post them here.

Purchase something from the museum? Nup, as much as you'd like it, it is not going to happen. Unless you have a ridiculious amount of money.

Only real way is to ask then to burn you a copy of the disc. But that has copy-write issues tied to it...

[jamesster]

Actually, I think the bigger problem is that I don't live anywhere near New York in the first place.

Found this:

This actually looks better than the final game... lol

Nice findings there jamesster!

If only it were possible to buy from a museum.... if only a museum also had the Beta of LRR(or the level editor) too

Just spam them with emails asking for an image of the CD.

[jamesster]

Not gonna post the original link to the pics on BZPower, but I will here. However, I will warn you that the site address has the H word in it. Just an FYI.

I'll edit the screens and put them on BZP as soon as I have the time.

Interesting. I doubt the museum will let you make a copy, but I'd say you best bet to get a copy would be to contact whoever it comes from.

[jamesster]

Great news! I have the email address of the person who donated the disk, and have sent him a message about it.

Hello,

First, let me introduce myself. My name is Jamie, and I am 14 years old. I am a LEGO fan and member of the LEGO Kids Inner Circle, a group that tests things such as video games and building sets before they are released to the public, as well as providing ideas for new building themes, titles, and new website features for the LEGO company. I have beta tested the online social network known as My LEGO Network, an online multiplayer game called LEGO Racers Challenge, and I have alpha tested the upcoming MMOG LEGO Universe which is scheduled to be released this October (The game is now in beta testing, which I am also involved in). I am also developing my own game, a 3D platformer, using the Unity 3D engine.

While researching a LEGO video game released in 2000, LEGO Stunt Rally, I came across this page:
http://www.museumofp...=52&o=109.16767
Having a very large interest in both beta versions of video games and LEGO, this has really gotten my attention. The website said that you had given it to the museum, so I went online and found this email address - please excuse me if I have gotten the wrong one. If you don't mind, could you please tell me a bit about how you got this beta disk? I have done quite a bit of research and as far as I can tell this is the only known beta disk of the game. Could you tell me a bit about how you got it, and if possible, how it differs from the final game? Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Though unfortunately, this is the only beta we really have on hand and one other maybe.

I've actually been to that museum just a couple of years ago. I don't remember seeing this when I was there though. I suddenly feel the urge to go back...

Also, YAY old topic...

[legoking831]

There's actually two other prototype discs that caught my attention there, but of course it had to be the same donator. I e-mailed him and never got a reply. I didn't realize it until I looked at the Stunt Rally prototype again.
