Doom is "interesting" : it's the US version with the increased movement speed of the PAL version. Still sucks anyway due to equally awful framerate.

I gave Powerslave may 1996 E3 prototype a try. It's interesting. It has 5 levels, you start will all the weapons and levels unlocked.
So no weapon pickups, but you can pick up the high jump sandals.
The doors are all unlocked, some areas are buggy and the performances seemed a bit worse than the final version, at least on Mednafen.
The game hangs if you try to talk to Ramses in the first level, so you need to quit and reload your save.
Perhaps on real hardware it works, but not on emulators.
The game has different enemy placements, so you encounter stronger enemies in those early levels.
It also has buggy lava surface textures.
I haven't played it 100%, but I will try to see if the disc contains extra test levels not seen in the final version (EDIT : It doesn't), but it's still quite interesting.
The lighting effects were already fully implemented, but collision detection had some issues as you can't pick up orbs close to the walls.

"This video shows a prolonged playsession of the "Rockman X4 Show Version" which shows the game a mid-stage in development."
