Action Man: Mission Xtreme


ACTION.EXE

* There's lots of mentions of objects. Any unused?

* ACTION.DAT mentions a music test. Its probably used in the game but I better make sure

Build date I think.

* from 00330800 to 00330AF0 are strings from a model viewer tool

* from 0101F800 to 010203B0 is the Genesis world file.
It mentions the levels, from city101 to city125. Are these used? or is all this remnants from some other game?


Team Buddies (rolling demo)

Even though this is a non-interactive trailer to watch, there are some interesting files on the disk in the folder.
This is doubly interesting as Euro Demo 55 is the only Euro Demo that has any Team Buddies on it, and its only a watachble trailer. No wonder the full game is rare.

LEGGIT.EXE

00000800:
BUDDIES\OVERLAY.DAT;1..That's all folks!.The movie is over.....Running demo disk version...Mode is %s.Timeout %d seconds...interactive.attract.

Now that's funny.


SYS.BIN

* There's lots of strings pertaining to objects, models, animations, "toys". Should get the full game and see what's unused

000006E0:

A list of levels. There's 32 levels by my count (8 worlds, 4 missions per world) and there's 34 levels mentioned here (including LEVEL_0). What levels aren't used? Can you access them?


Colony Wars: Red Sun (rolling demo)

Again, another non-interactive trailer with interesting files.

Music 2000

* The files for this game come in a folder called JESTER, named after developer Jester Interactive. That's weird.
* the sound files in this game are in the .vag format. This leads to amusing things like hot.vag
