Shanghai II

Overview

Two of the Sunsoft Dev Disks contained early demos of Shanghai II for the Famicon Disk System, making up two of the six tile layouts used in the final game. Aside from a placeholder title screen, little more than the main game is present. No music, cutscenes, or main menu options exist at this point. There is no win state. Once all tiles are cleared, the player is simply left to move their cursor around on a blank screen. Similar to what happened with this game's predecessor, the background was changed from gray to green, which led to the tiles' palette being tweaked accordingly to create a rather classy visual aesthetic in the final NES version. The final also surrounds the tiles with a nice border and a bunch of menu options, which the prototype also has but either hides or leaves unused.
