Plumbers Don't Wear Ties (3DO)

The far more well-known port of what was actually a Windows game initially. What Kirin Entertainment adds to the 3DO version is a filmed FMV opening with the character Jane, as well as unnecessarily unskippable dialogue during the interstitial choice menus. Otherwise, it's the exact same experience.

Unused Graphics#

Windows Leftovers#

A few of the unused scenes from the Windows version are still here, albeit slightly downscaled.

3DO Exclusive#

JAN.CEL#

A single frame from the intro FMV sequence, found in the root of miketest folder.

CONTROLHELP.cel#

Manual scan. PlumberTies3DO_controlhelp.cel.png

An image that explains the controls, with the narrator's face inside the controller. While unused in-game, it's instead shown in the game's physical instruction manual.

sc12a

miketest/sc12a is an unused game over screen. It's in the same style as the first few choice screens, before the menus inexplicably change to a completely different style halfway through. DEC121P.CEL is a duplicate of the graphic for "Go to the first decision!" in the first choice menu.

Unused Audio#

DEC121S.aiff#

In the aforementioned sc12a folder is a unique line from the female menu voice.
