This is a sub-page of Proto:Midtown Madness.

Build 1427 of Midtown Madness was dropped off on the Midtown Club Discord server on August 25th 2024, and it's the second earliest build known to exist of this game. It's also a debug build, like the one found in the Sneak Preview Beta. Exciting!

To do:
There are a lot more interesting textures leftover from various phases of development that need to be documented.
