A game about controlling CATERPILLAR vehicles to help blasting and pushing boulders to building a bridge, collecting gold, saving a sandcastle, cleaning up the city, and making the road for the airport.
Unused Images/Sprites#
A rare aweZome logo, likely an early version of an AWE Productions logo.
The static game logo. It was probably used as the setup's image. The intro movie however has the final animated logo.
A marker for (likely toggling) Ambient Sound. There is no way to change this feature and this was likely a placeholder.
A Help marker. The manual mentions a help button in a zone but doesn't appear anywhere.
A placeholder marker for triggers.
This kind of bush like the other bushes in this game serve no purpose anywhere else.
Post lights that are yellow and red. Only the green ones are used in the Quarry Zone.
A placeholder sky background.
The \PICS folder which contains 2D sprites also contains placeholder graphics for each object and action.
Unused Texture/Model#

To do: |
A model of an airport security car. It was supposed to be in the scenery of the Airport Zone but doesn't appear in-game.
Unused Music#
level_2.xmi#
This music was likely for the next section of Blast Zone, but only level_1 plays. It also includes a short hidden section after its song loop.
new1.xmi#
This music was likely to be played during the completion scene on certain zones, but only new2 and level3 are used.
Ork_1-a.xmi#
Apparently an early version of the City Zone music. Only Ork_2-a is played.
Truncated Music#
This "finished zone" music for certain zones have its full length, but only several seconds are played during the animation. new2 however plays the full length and its loop during the credits.
Music Oddity#
The music for Blast Zone has a short section that is after its song loop which normally can't be heard in-game.
Unused Sounds#
Dialogue of the narrator kid saying "Great work! You saved the castle!". It was supposed to be said but never does.
User Options was likely to be an early version of Game Settings, but no option in the Command Center exists for it.
