Special thanks to @dodgykebaab to editing today’s video!

If some of your favourite video games were actually tech demos for completely different games? In this episode of Fact Hunt, Guru Larry uncovers the bizarre video game tech demos, prototype games and secret development projects that helped create some of gaming’s biggest titles.

From The Bouncer and Final Fantasy to War Gods and Mortal Kombat 4, Motor Toon Grand Prix and Gran Turismo, Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis and Grand Theft Auto IV, and Pilotwings 64 and Super Mario 64 — these seemingly unrelated games were used to experiment with new hardware, graphics, physics and technology.

Some were disguised experiments. Some were stepping stones towards much bigger games. And some were simply bizarre ways for developers to test what their new hardware could actually do!

In this episode we look at the hidden history of video games, retro gaming technology, PlayStation 2, PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Xbox 360, game engines, physics technology and the strange development stories behind some of the most famous games ever made.

So how did a cartoon kart racer help lead to Gran Turismo? Why did Rockstar make a table tennis game before GTA IV? And what did a bizarre 3D fighting game have to do with Mortal Kombat 4?

Find out in Fact Hunt: Games That Were Tech Demos for Other Games!

And yes, before you ask, I’m “That Guru Larry” that was on TV 😂
