Sw 002.png

An early demo of Sandwarriors for the PC.

Notes

This build was included on the PC Collectors CD ROM #1, issue 5, November/December 1996.

Unlike the later 1997 demo, it contains files for six maps, and a range of levels based on these maps. Only the first two levels have enemies and objectives, and the others are often at an early stage of development.

In order to access the other maps/levels, the following command must be used:

sw.exe /mission=XX

Where XX is a number of 1 or above. (Source for cheat: Mr Flibble at Beta Archive)

Odd numbers load night missions, while even numbers levels take place in the daytime.

This prototype also has a multiplayer option not present in the final game, but it does not seem to function.

Also of interest is a file called Horus.txt. This seems to relate to an earlier version from February 1996 when the game’s title was being changed to Horus to Sandwarriors.
