This page details one or more prototype versions of Barkley Shut Up and Jam! 2.

To do:
Gameplay differences, more aesthetic differences, and MUCH more.

Barkley Shut Up and Jam! 2 was released by Accolade in 1995, with not much critical acclaim. An early prototype was leaked on December 23, 2006 by drx.

Interestingly, both the prototype and the final have an almost identical header.

Gameplay Differences#

  • No music plays during the game and one tune exists in the proto.
  • Lots of missing sound effects.
  • The game doesn't ask how many players want to play.

The logo is similar to the final game, but with some changes to the "2" and a trademark symbol was added. The title screen itself was completely redone, with a photograph in the final instead of a drawing in the proto.
