This page details one or more prototype versions of Go (CD-i).

Dated October 8th, 1992, the unreleased English version of Go was most likely meant for the US market, as the game was listed in the catalogues packaged with the region's long box titles.

The prototype first surfaced in 2002 as Go: Special Edition, an unofficial CD-i release by OlderGames sourced from an unspecified disc. In 2021, a testing disc containing the same data as Special Edition was documented in the second phase of Project Deluge, verifying the prototype's origins and build date.

The copyright date was updated from 1992 to 1993, and the black border was reduced to only covering the bottom.

Due to the new translations, the rule section name/wall background graphics had to be (at least partially) redone. The no copying message had its copyright date updated to match the title screen.

In addition, the debug file cdi_goid is missing from the English prototype.
