Drake of the 99 Dragons (Xbox)

Drake of the 99 Dragons was meant to be the start of a multimedia franchise, but the game had a sloppily-implemented dual-gun wielding mechanic, bad controls, an incomprehensible story, subpar graphics, and other deficiencies. As a result, it's often considered one of the worst games on the Xbox.

The game did eventually get an improved PC version, but alas, the damage was done.

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: The Steam version has the Comic Con demo hiding inside a bonus folder. Check that out.

Unused Graphics#

Early Font#

Used for the HUD in early pre-release footage. The final game uses a more comic book-like font.

Leftover Demo Screens#

Present in pack.csa are various screens from demos, mainly of edits for the title screen in JPEG format.
