Do you remember “Fado”, the beta Kokiri girl that was seen in a couple of early screenshots from Ocarina of Time? That girl was changed in the final game with a different 3D model, but now thanks to ZethN64, formally known as ZethAlkar, we can see her again in the beta kokiri restoration hack! This is a standalone hack not associated with any projects.

Here’s “Fado” in a beta screen:

And here’s Fado in the Beta Restoration!

Some other beta kokiri are restored too, you can check them all in the video below:

Exerion 2 (II) [NES – Unreleased in USA]

The original Exerion was a vertical shoot ’em up released by Jaleco in 1983 and licensed to Taito for distribution on the United States. The game featured parallax effects and inertia simulation, something notable for 1983. [Info from Wikipedia] Sometime later, Jaleco worked on a “sequel” of the game, but as we can read on the Lost Levels forum, it was just the first Exerion with “updated graphics and music”. Anyway, in the end Exerion 2 was never released in America but a prototype was found and leaked online by the Nintendo Age community in June 2009. For all the NES collectors out there, a reproduction cart with Exerion 1+2 can also be bought and played on a real NES thanks to RetroZone!

Murder City [PC – Cancelled?]

Patison has found an article about a mysterious PC game called “Murder City” in an old Polish gaming magazine. There’s not much info on the game, only two screens (probably renders) which show some futuristic buildings and a little description, which says: “Somewhere in future, in gigantic, dark, Megalopolis” and other PR text. But there is another interesting part, saying: “You can flight anywhere, in this huge, vector, cities of future” so it could have been a Descent-like game. The Polish publisher was going to be Techland, but as far as we know, this game was never released.

Update: the game was released under a different name – Crime Cities. It was pretty much Descent meets G-Police.

Thanks to Patison and Hyde_PL for the contributions!
