Munch's Oddysee beta and unused content

This is the beta and unused content for Munch's Oddysee.

Munch's Oddysee on PS2
Originally, Munch's Oddysee was planned to be released on the PlayStation 2, but due to the difficulty Oddworld Inhabitants had with the early PS2 development, they moved the game to the Xbox, which was a launch title for this console.

Unused/cut content

 * A vending machine/power-up called Klimb was set to be featured in the game, but was cut for unknown reasons, although it can found in the game's files and the demo as well.
 * A weapon called Shock Rocker Club was featured in the game manual, but was never used in the game due to time constraints.
 * Chroniclers were expected to appear in the game, but were ultimately absent from the final version.

 * Munch had an unused alter ego similar to Shrykull that could be triggered from Munch getting mad by Abe repeatedly slapping him.
 * An industrial tree-cutter known as the Harvester was originally intended on making an appearance.
 * Beetle-like creatures known as Meetles were originally intended to appear, and would've grown into 2 different forms.
 * Elums were intended to be included in the game, but they were proven to be memory intense on the A.L.I.V.E. game engine and had been hard to animate, especially when it came to Abe being shot at whilst mounted.
