    After scavenging through hundreds of websites i have come across quite the few rom images, including a few sonic prototypes:

    LIST
    ====================================
    Knuckles Chaotix 1994 Beta Prototype (A.K.A Sonic Crackers A1: Released 1994/04/01)
    It appears this was meant to be it's own game. Sonic team could even spring for a graphical Title Screen, opting for a ASCII Based Screen.

    Knuckles Chaotix Prototypes(111,119,1207,1227,1229)
    Not many differences between the versions, except between 119 and 1207 which dropped some levels and characters.

    Sonic 3D Blast E3 Demo
    Self Explanatory. The Test Cartridge used at E3 '96 to demo the game, which has lots of graphical errors and glitches

    Sonic 3D Developmental Prototypes (814,819,835,830)
    Developmental Prototypes because there would be screens detailing "XXX to be placed here", typically in the credits and later levels

    Sonic Spinball Prototype (A.K.A DEV '94 Edition)
    idk much about this one, but it has a few minor differences than the final version.

    Currently Looking for:
    Sonic the Hedgehog '91 Beta (E3? Beta)
    Sonic the Hedgehog 102? Beta (number might be wrong...)
    Sonic CD Beta (1992)
    Sega Test Cartrige (Used to test the components?)

    AND a Sega Saturn Beta Bios that i found on a website, but provides a dead link to a public server.

    Since i can only post 4.01 MB i'll post only the sonic spinball beta. the others exceed quota

    Ah yeah, most likely part of that HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE archival dump that drx did a few years back. Good stuff! I mean to do another backup of that baby sometime, I've since lost a lot of data :/

    Well I stand corrected then :)

    Edit: The torrent may work but how much good will it do if no one's seeding?

    I actually have the Spinball prototype. I also have 3 betas of Sonic and Knuckles game. The first one is the full game before it was split in 2. I can provide links for anyone who wants them. They're over on the Sonic Retro site. The betas have a few slight differences from the final split game release. They also play on real hardware through Everdrive MD.

    Just my $0.02 on the matter.
