E3 1997 Showcase#
Zombieville was showcased in E3 1997, a few months before the game's final release, showing a question mark graphic for the cursor that remains unused in the release version. Additionally, when Matt gets zombified, the HUD changes Matt's face far than in the retail version. (This may be the result of editing, but it's impossible to tell.)
Unknown Private Detective#

These images above are of a private detective named "Main Dave". The left and right images are from a 1996 Psygnosis Press Kit and contain modified dates of 09/1995. The middle picture is from the back of the game manual from "big box" releases.
The existence of the middle image is perplexing. Inside the 1996 press kit are renders of different models & locations of the pre-release game, but while Matt Black is mentioned, his graphics are nowhere to be seen. It is possible that Main Dave was just a placeholder, as his graphics would be seen in 1996 issues of Computer Gaming. However, the physical copy of the game manual has Main Dave printed onto the back, as shown in this YouTube video.
Unused Promotional Rendered Models#
Inside the 1996 Psygnosis Press Kit, there are many models of characters that didn't make it to the released version of Zombieville.
