Manual#
The game's manual includes this interesting picture of near-final power up icons. The Invincibility power up shown is an adaptation of the demo one, only without the circular background. More interestingly the Invisibility power up is shown as a triangle with the eye graphic from the demo on it. In the final both would be totally redone as hexagon shaped power ups with no resemblance to these early icons whatsoever.
Magazine Coverage#
PC Zone Issue 28, July 1995#
Hi-Octane famously had a very short development time, meaning few preview articles were written about the game. Here PC Zone captures the game surely only a few weeks into development, as it has a very different UI to not only the final game, but even the demo. Note the in-your-face messages warning of low fuel and for getting killed.
