Interesting how the textures change from the PC Home to the PC Action versions. Does anyone know if this change occured via the publisher or the art department?
I'll see what articles I can find in my collection. Check back in a few hours.
I couldn't find anything
You mentioned you own collection (In another thread). What kind of collection is that? Mine for example is magazines from the 90s and ~3000 magazine CDs from 1993-2011.

Mine is a lot of magazines and magazine CDs as well, but I've acquired some betas through Ebay and some in-person auctions (including the Acclaim auction) and even (you're never going to believe this) garage sales. I've met a couple devs from Microprose and Activision near my neighborhood at garage sales, and (while they weren't out in the open) they did have some old betas and source code that they were practically giving away - these were the kind of devs who literally loved their work so much that they took it home with them and worked on it themselves.
