In 2002, a Windows port of Tom and Jerry in Fists of Furry was inexplicably released two years after its initial Nintendo 64 debut.

Unused Files

Inside the DATA folder of the game, two unused files can be found:

• TJPC_STR_RU.utx
  A full Russian translation of the game that wasn't implemented at the final. However, the game's font doesn't contain Cyrillic characters.

• TJfont_f.ttf
  An alternative font for the game that is pretty similar to the used font in TJFONT.ttf. Surprisingly, it has a later modification date than the used font.

Unused Text

In the executable, the string HELLO WORLD can be found at 0x000559AC. Strings for the debug mode from the N64 version are still present in this version, as are the early names for the stages.

Revisional Differences

The Windows port is nearly identical to the Nitntendo 64 version, which has the same textures, models and gameplay. There are a couple of differences, though. The HUD has a different font for menus and time, icons for characters now have shadows, and names appear on the health bar. Nibbles/Tuffy and Butch also had their expressions removed from the game.
