Rare’s unreleased Dinosaur Planet for Nintendo 64 is now in the wild, and gameplay of it running on the console is available.
The video game preservationists at Forest of Illusion announced they had released a build of the game dated December 2000. Dinosaur Planet eventually launched as Star Fox Adventures for the GameCube in 2002.
Today we have released Dinosaur Planet by Rare for Nintendo 64. The development was halted and moved to the GameCube, where it was then released as Star Fox Adventures. Enjoy! (More info in this thread).

Digital Foundry’s John Linneman has confirmed the validity of the build, and managed to get it running on an actual Nintendo 64. The video below is gameplay he captured:
This build of the game does not appear to originate from the Nintendo gigaleak that recently helped fans restore the Super Mario World soundtrack. Rather, it appears the preservationists bought a disc with work-in-progress code of Dinosaur Planet on it.
