Walken is a prototype version of Ken's Labyrinth, dating to September 1992. At this point, the basic gameplay has been implemented, but it's pretty unrefined.

General Differences#

No cheat mode.
No high score tables and no score tracking.
Completing a level just sends you straight to the next one. Clearing the last level dumps you back in the DOS command prompt.
Warping is not present.
Compass is not implemented.
The tangent calculation table has twice as many entries in this build.
No handlers for XMS extended memory.
The in-game music is a rendition of "It's A Small World (After All)".

Graphical Differences#

Most of the sprites are rough drafts of what they would be in later versions.

Proto	Final

The portrait of Ken Silverman is of a lower bit depth than the final game.

Proto	Final
	Oh, it's got a man's face on it.

The extra life sprite is more basic, with the final game including a face of (presumably) the player character.

Proto	Final

The rectangular "Welcome" sign is an octagonal "GO" sign in this build.
