Jet Moto 2124 was supposed to be the futuristic followup to the highly underrated Jet Moto games, to be released in Spring 2000. Unfortunately, problems during development, as well as the relatively lackluster sales of Jet Moto 3, resulted in its cancellation.

A ROM of an early test build was acquired by Jet Moto Central and released on January 14th, 2014.

Unused Tracks

Atlantis II

Known in-game as ATLAN_2. This track uses a similar aesthetic as Atlantis, but has a completely different layout. According to developers, this stage was scrapped due to being too difficult for the first stage in the game, and was thus replaced with Atlantis.

300C55EC 0041
300C55ED 0054

An unused trophy for Neo Rio exists in the game's files.

Unused Images

Given the unfinished nature of the game, there are a lot of images that go unused here.

Screens

A development credit for Sony Interactive Studios America, recycled from 2Xtreme. It was most likely a placeholder for either the 989 Studios logo video or for Pacific Coast Power & Light's own logo.

A couple of screens involving legal info.

These screens were meant to be displayed at the end of a demo build of the game.

This screen was meant to be shown when loading stunt mode.

Renders

An unused logo image.

A simple test image, showing a screenshot from Jet Moto 2.

Another test image.

There are also a couple of other unused renders hidden in the game's files. Their intended purpose is unknown.

Jet Moto 2125

There are several leftover images from a much earlier build of the game, titled Jet Moto 2125.

These images were used for the title screen. Interestingly, the background is also stored as a separate file, despite the menus coming pre-assembled in the first three images.

These images were used for the options menu. Likewise, there are several elements that are saved separately, despite the pre-assembled menu screen.

A couple of early speedometer designs.
