Pilot Down: Behind Enemy Lines is a game that was intended to have a Winter 2003 release, but it got delayed to Fall 2005 for reasons currently unknown.

Unused Graphics#

BEL_LEGAL.tif#

An old legal screen with a copyright date of 2002.

BEL_LEGAL01.png#

Another old legal screen with a copyright date of 2003.

BEL_UI.tif#

A main menu background made around the same time as the legal screen from 2002.

splash_01.png#

A main menu background presumably from 2003 as well. Considering that the game was already on Milestone 20 at that point, perhaps it had a prolonged development cycle that pushed its release to late 2005.

An old version of the Language Select screen.

Hidden inside of gui_en.wga are two spreadsheets used for tracking UI text and translations for international releases.
