Production and release[edit | edit source]
This project started as a PlayStation game,[3] but development was moved to the Dreamcast[4] and Windows.[5] These versions were later scrapped,[6][7] and development was moved to the Xbox.[8]
The game was re-released as part of the Xbox Classics series.
Additional features[edit | edit source]
- While Buffy the Vampire Slayer was advertised as a single-player game, it has a hidden multiplayer mode, apparently for debugging purposes.[9]
- The game starts with a variation of the expository narrative that was featured in the early Buffy episodes, as well as a variation on the opening titles sequence. However, both of these are made up of game footage.
