Last week, somebody managed to acquire over 1000 prototypes of Sega games that went through Sega of America's quality assurance department. Most of these date to around 1994-1995, and there are several different builds available for most of the games in this lot. The leaker shared these with others yesterday, and people have been combing the ROMs since then searching for any insight and details as to what changed during the development and localization of these games.
Sp0rsk gave me the go-ahead for this thread so long as no instructions whatsoever are given as to how to obtain these ROMs, so don't ask or PM me about it. Asking via PM is still ban-worthy.
Since this lot came from Sega of America, that probably means that not a whole lot of interesting things will be found for games that originated from Japan. The development was mostly complete for those games, and only localization issues needed to be taken care of for the most part. Nevertheless, I think it'd be worth checking into some of them.
Here's the entire list of games that have at least one prototype in this lot:
