Attachment

The game started off as a project called "Seiken Densetsu: The Emergence of Excalibur" and was planned to be released in 1987 for the Famicom Disk System on 5 Disks, which would've been the biggest 8-bit game ever made. However resources were moved to focus on games for the Game Boy to which the project was canceled with Square giving refunds to all who had pre-ordered it. The Seiken Densetsu name was later reused for another game which was in development called Gemma Knights which would become Final Fantasy Adventure.

Demos of the game, found on demo discs and Spyro: Year of the Dragon, contain full versions of the game. The rest of the game besides the demo content is simply locked, but can be accessed through the use of a cheat code. There are many differences between the game's demo release and the final retail game.

The second trailer for Team Fortress 2 shows gameplay footage of each class, except for the Medic. However, the Medic does make two appearances in the video; once at 1:47, on the left, and once again at 1:50, he can be seen behind a wall.

The trailer also shows many sound and weapon changes. Some of these include the Scout using a weapon called the Nailgun, which was replaced by the Scattergun, and the Demoman can be seen throwing an pack of Dynamite, which was later replaced by his Stickybombs. Every class, including the Pyro, uses generic scream sounds for taking damage and dying, including the infamous Wilhelm scream.

One of Steven Ogg's influences when he was portraying Treavor Philips in the game was actor Tom Hardy; specifically Hardy's performance in the 2008 film Bronson.

"He was able to walk that line of psychopath and entertainer while maintaining his sense of humor in some pretty dark places. I'm always inspired by intensity and those that take great pride in what they do - be it an actor, painter, musician, writer, or arborist."

As well as some music which Ogg would listen to, to help imagine Treavor.

Originally Alex Sheperd was meant to have a blonde look with a more militaristic appearance, however he was later re-designed to look younger and more "average". His original "blonde" look was left in some of the game's loading screens as a mistake.

In Ermac and Sindel's endings, Kitana is shown as looking like Mileena's primary costume, but pallette-swapped with blue instead of pink. The reason Kitana has a blue version of Mileena's outfit is because she was originally going to be playable in the game, but was replaced by Jade because the creators wanted to bring back older characters.

The game's final boss, Toyosatomimi no Miko, is based on the legends of Prince Shoutoku, a political figure who lived during the Asuka period in Japan. Most notably, Miko shares the exact same birthday, is stated in supplementary materials to have lived in the world outside Gensokyo, and even shares the ability to understand ten conversations at once.

Miko's identity as Prince Shoutoku is also referenced in the name of her leitmotif, "Shoutoku Legend ~ True Administrator."

In Operation 005-C, the boss battle is designed to play similarly to the Punch-Out series. The Gah-Goojin that the team pilots has two attacks, one obtained by collecting stars, the other by landing hits. These are references to the Star Punch in the NES Punch-Out!!, and the Knock-Out Punch in the SNES Super Punch-Out!!.

Harada, the producer of Tekken, originally designed "Tekken Ball" as a simulator to help people practice air juggles. Initially, a player had to hit the ball and juggle it to a basket, somewhat similar to basketball. However, Harada found the original version of "Tekken Ball" to be frustrating and decided to make it a competitive game.

There is an unused Miracle called "Escape Death" in the game's files that acts as a Rare Ring of Sacrifice, letting the player die, but also keep all of their souls and humanity. It is likely that this was removed due to developers noting that it would remove the penalty of death, making the game unbalanced.

Models for parts of a pinball machine can be found in the game's files. They use the default texture, and are too detailed and big just for a prop. It's likely that these models were used for a scrapped level taking place in a pinball machine.
