A prototype/prerelease build of Tomb Raider: Legend for the Xbox from 2005-12-08 (about 3 months before the NTSC release build).

Notes

  • This prototype features many test levels, unfinished areas, deleted features such as wall-jumping, and debug functionality.
  • Press X+B to open and close the debugging menu.
  • Press LT+RT+Back+Up to activate debug movement mode to access areas that are otherwise difficult to reach.
  • Playing this prototype requires an original Xbox development/debug kit, or a modded retail kit upgraded to 128MB RAM with a debug BIOS installed. It will not play on a modded retail kit with a retail BIOS, and it will not play in the original Xbox emulator on an Xbox 360 of any kind.
  • This prototype was recovered from an Xbox debug kit. The drive contained an earlier xbe file and xdb file with the same dates as the bigfiles for this build (2005-11-24), so the actual build may be from a few weeks earlier. Unfortunately, those files were already overwritten and lost.
