vaguerant 34.1 5 These screenshots marked as "January" were presumably distributed to select press outlets earlier than the E3 screenshots below, but were never officially released directly to the public. Several of them were published in Nintendo Power magazine and on IGN64.

7 Notably, several screenshots appear to have been captured in the Nintendo 64's high-resolution mode. In the extant prototype, only the startup menus run in high-res mode, with the in-game graphics exclusively displaying at the standard, lower N64 resolution. This is causing some HUD issues in these screens, where the low-res HUD appears much smaller than it does when running at the normal resolution.

31 These screenshots were distributed to press and published on Rare's defunct Dinosaur Planet web site shortly before E3 2000. Several of these screenshots are close to or the same as the January batch: Shots 1, 4 and 10 appear to be the same as in January, while shot 6, the Galadon fight, has been retaken without the HUD displaying.
