Way of the Warrior

This page details one or more prototype versions of Way of the Warrior.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do:

Check for any unused moves for Dragon and Shaky Jake.
Check for any unused sounds and voice lines for the Dragon, Shaky Jake, and the Book Keeper.
Put audio differences for the retail and demo sounds of the Book Keeper.

A non-playable demo of Way of the Warrior was included on the first 3DO Interactive Sampler CD.

Unused Graphics#

Character Select Icons#

Graphics for Dragon and Shaky Jake for the character select screen. Neither the main menu nor character select are shown in the demo, and even then the icons are placeholders.

Rematch Screen#

In the demo, when Dragon or Shaky Jake wins twice the game ends and shows the demo wrapup message. As such, the rematch bridge screen is never shown.

Unused Audio#

Book Keeper Voicelines#

High Abbot and Gulab Jamun aren't in this demo so these go unused.
