Demon's Crest (GBA) prototype found! Port of SNES fan favorite - very early build
4The fine folks at Forest of Illusion once again publicly released another lost and forgotten early prototype GBA ROM. This time it is for Demon's Crest on GBA, a port of the SNES game. This early build barely functions and freezes almost instantly but you can see that is looked a lot like the SNES original.
This is just a quick demonstration of the gameplay of this early build prototype. It is rather glitchy and freezes if you hit the wall. If you jump, Fire Brand does not fall back to the ground.

Quote from Forest of Illusion for more details on this game:
"The following is a largely unfinished port of Demon’s Crest for the Game Boy Advance by Rival Dreams. This demo was previously unknown to the internet, but appears to be a faithful port of the Super Nintendo original. Unfortunately it seems to be in a rather buggy state. When attempting to play it unaltered, the game will crash after pressing start at the title screen. With some hacking, you can progress further to a semi-functional rendition of the first stage. As such, a patched version is also included within this release.
The port was pitched to Capcom but never ended up materializing into a full product. Something worth noting is that the ROM’s header is “DARKEDEN”, which may be indicative of the game being used as a base for this demo."
