To the surprise of many, the owner of the Mega Drive prototype of the game Putty Squad, a 1994 video game developed by System 3, has decided to release the ROM of the game freely on the internet.  This original prototype sold for nearly AU $1400 in 2013. 

The ROM was first posted at the Sega-16 forums by member Mad Moham.  According to Moham, he game is quite long, and seems complete, other than the sound effects, and some kind of an ending screen. Also an easy level skip code remains, probably for review purposes, this can be accessed as follows:

Hold down A+B+C, then press START twice, then release ABC.

The code will take you to the next level, but won't give you a code, sadly.

The ROM has been tested with Fusion and on real hardware using a flash cartridge, the only bad news is that the proto board seems to now be dead, hopefully it can be repaired. There also seems to be some graphical glitching in a couple of the later levels, but the game remains playable.

Upon finishing a level, the player is presented with a level select code. The codes work, but the code only flashes on screen very briefly so be careful.

Level codes seem to be the same as the Amiga version, so are as follows:

01 - DIOBMIG - Tomb of King Phut
02 - YTREWQ - Halls of Silence
03 - USTIJNIN - Bazaar Al Kebab
04 - ELBARM - The Wailing Tower
05 - MEHYAM - Palace of Baghdad

Great news, and very nice of the owner to release it!

[Saturn]

Great info and the game looks like fun. Will give it a spin in Fusion sometime

[TrekMD]

I actually have an unreleased proto of Asteroid/Super Missile Command for the Lynx that I'd love to have someone make repros of and sell.  I wonder if there'd be interest in it.

[Saturn]

I'd be interested

I have to see if anyone would be interested in manufacturing carts. I should probably reach out to the guys from Super Fighter Team.

You and I should get them made mate and sell them to get the cash we invest back.

I need to find out how to get it dumped from the cart to then have carts made.
