An old file stored in "\data\images\textures\README" that refers to some non-existent graphics.

Comments extracted from the level files, as (comment) support is going
to be removed and thus the comments will disappear from the levelfiles.

Unused Pingus#

Angel#

Angels float up and away and result in the loss of the Angel once it goes offscreen. Presumably, one of these would have been spawned whenever a Pingu died.

Boarder#

Boarders aren't properly coded and they crash the game when spawned.

Superman#

Supermen fly up and away and result in the loss of the Superman once it goes offscreen.

Rocket launcher#

All that there is of this pingus is the sprites and nothing else.

Unused Music#

An unused level completion theme.

Unused Sound#

An unused sound for diggers.
