Devs, Please Preserve Pac Man World Rally Beta Prototype And Secretly Make It Public

The Issue

  Dear Pac Man World Rally developer. I am Dragon Claw, the leader of the Revive Great Lost Media discord server. This petition is to prove to you how many fans seriously want the Pac Man World Rally beta content and how much extreme work they've put into trying to get it back. I 100% promise to keep your identity secret if you send me the Pac Man World Rally beta ISO or any lost assets in my Discord server through direct message. My discord, https://discord.gg/Zy7EtwSJbg . Any and all assets we gain is purely for preservation purposes and non-profit. Our life goal is simply to save the lost media that we have judged as the best for future generations to enjoy. Now please read the stories of our members' involvement with the beta.

  When I was still a child, I saw the trailer for Pac Man World Rally shown above in Pac Man World 3's bonus features. It was one of the most beautiful games I ever saw and I couldn't wait to buy it. Soon after, I bought the game and saw on the back images of the levels from the trailer I saw on Pac Man World 3. When I actually played the game, I was VERY disappointed because all of the levels were changed in ways that removed a lot of the charm, I mean I tried doing literally every insane thing imaginable to try to unlock the content from the trailer to make sure I could play what I bought the game for, but years later, when I had the internet, I found out that it was a prototype, so I hand wrote, (NOT TYPED), a long business letter to Namco asking for this missing version. They took months to reply and when they did, they just sent a list of differences. To make matters worse, they stole the text by copy and pasting another Fan's beta difference observation list! They ripped off someone else and didn't even bother to actually wright anything to me! So, I have spent countless hours of my life trying to get the 2005 beta tracks back, like Frozen Tundra and Lunar Launch, to my knowledge, every track had an early version that was unused. I won't rest until every lost asset from Pac Man World Rally or at least it's race tracks are publicly playable!

  A discord member by the name of Super Bomberman Gamer played Lunar Launch and saw demo footage of Frozen Tundra on an arcade version of Pac Man World Rally that was operated by swiping a card, it's menu resembled the final game's version, yet had only prototype tracks, except for Cloud Garden which might have never changed. It was located in Ecuador, Manta, in a shopping center called Paseo Shopping on the second floor in an area called The Play Zone. The machine had white buttons and a control stick. It was there for a very short time, like it was pulled almost right after being installed, I believe it was due to the controversy of Ms. Pac Man and Jr. Pac Man's copyright ownership between Namco and Midway. This might prove that the alternate track designs were intended for the arcade version instead of just being prototype tracks. Super Bomberman Gamer has been trying desperately to find a way to play these lost tracks ever since.

  A discord user, who I believe may have left was a beta tester and had a review copy. Unfortunately that person moved and lost the disc at their old home. I think they said for some insane reason the data was removed from the disc, so it might be ruined anyway, but that is a tragic loss, especially since they said Lunar Launch was on that disc.

  Discord members, Super Mati 795, oh ok, and Catod0_ have worked on searching the game's files deeply desperately trying to find any surviving beta remnants in the versions we have. iGamer133v was the first other person I found who seriously loved Pac Man World Rally's beta and I have had several other passionate friends join my discord server and fight to get PMWR's prototype back! Point is, people really care about this racing game and realize it is such a masterpiece that we are devastated at the loss of the alternate tracks from the beta, so please consider giving your adoring fans any files you may have of the Pac Man World Rally prototypes or lost versions. It would help complete a major life goal of ours, thank you.
