Actual beta
screenshots It says in
N64 magazine 22 (as scanned by Chris), that Joanna had to
escape the AK47-toting Roswell aliens in what looks to be
the same level. It wasn't infiltration but a type of
extraction. According to IGN, Joanna would go through
this part, sneak in through the entrance lower down, and
grab Elvis from the guards. Seems like Rescue was part of
this mission, although you came in a much quicker route. There were
also good aliens and bad aliens. Some who helped, some
who hampered. In the beginning of the
level, the guards seem to look like the guard who carries
double MagSecs. Two hoverbikes in the
level! And they're inside the main gate. Perhaps this was
early in development when co-op was first implemented. The main gate is gone, and
hoverbike starts in that area. In the
beta version, Joanna would rescue Elvis and then the
entire Roswell aliens would come to prevent this. See the
below picture to see them fire at Joanna. The aliens
attacked her as she made her way in. Some aliens were
good, some were bad. Not Elvis. Here the turret is gone.
This is the worst, most frustrating turret in the game,
so they must have decided to make the level more
difficult. No robot intercepters in
the stalls. Even when they are destroyed, they still
remain. No door and you can go
into the Bunker. You can still do that now, but you need
to get a guard to open it. Inside the area are guards
and a small room. This is Joanna's exit in Escape if she
takes the hoverbike out. Maybe she entered through here
in the beta version. Definately no guards here in final
version after they storm out. More into the area. After
this, Joanna would pick up Elvis, probably at the same
spot as before. A later
picture in which Jonathan signals Joanna later than
usual. She is usually signaled in the elevator. Felicity

from the Area 51 infiltration, this wall may have been in
some hard to reach place as a surprise. But I guess they
left it out. Have
