In a bizarre series of events an early build of the unreleased Dreamcast version of ToeJam & Earl 3 has found its way onto the internet.Assembler forum user ZakhooiTM discovered the early build on the internal hard drive of a Dreamcast dev kit they purchased on eBay for $1200. While publisher Sega has never approved this build's release, series creators Greg Johnson and Mark Voorsanger have assured ZakhooiTM that they will look the other way when it comes to this "community release," with the stipulation that the beta is not to be sold or pressed to a disc.
While ToeJam & Earl 3 eventually made its way onto the original Xbox in 2003, the Dreamcast version never saw the light of day and according to ZakhooiTM, it's a lot different than its commercial build. "The version on the devkit is more like the original on the megadrive but then in 3D," the hacker explained. "So no bosses, gates, keys, mini-games and hub connected world.
