Unused Text#

archives_win32\game0.arc contains a large amount of text for string definitions. Buried in the script is one piece of unused text (with delimiters being replaced by newlines):

hud_order_time_out_msg
TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
LE TEMPS PRESSE !
IL TEMPO STA SCADENDO!
DIE ZEIT LUFT AB!

This time running out message was depreciated in favor of a gray flash combined with slow motion.

With the installation of DLC, DLC\pack01\archives_win32\game0.arc has a second instance of the character information and upgrade text. That version has the text strings ordered differently, and also don't include entries that were with the main version.

Unused Graphics#

Codename#

There are two images that show a temporary start screen and a level complete screen.

Both have the name Strike Force, which looks to be the game's codename. The level complete screen even shows it as a proper logo with unique design.

Placeholder Images#

As a placeholder for the ESRB message in other languages than English, they simply used the English one, but put the name of the four other languages on them:

The other three placeholder images are for level 11 and level 12. The last one was likely for characters or just a generic placeholder.

Miscellaneous Images#
