Exactly 20 years after it was first showcased to journalists in Las Vegas, Dead Rising's 2006 prototype build has been released to the public by series preservationist STiP0.
If you're a diehard Dead Rising fan like me, then you're no doubt aware of how much the game changed during its development.
