Spider-Man 2: Activity Center (Windows)

A bunch of Spider-Man 2-based mini-games for kids.

Sub-Pages#

Unused CodeEvery commented out line of code.

Unused Graphics#

Most of the game pictures were used, but not all of them.

Unused Mission#

There are some leftovers of one additional scrapped 8th mini-game in the files of the game. It's called "Secret Hideout". This mini-game has no preview, but there's a "help" page for this game still left. Judging by this description, this mini-game must be the same as the warehouse infiltration, but this time you would web the guards and lasers in order to progress, plus there was an option to jump some obstacles. There's no other assets related to this mini-game, so maybe it wasn't even created at all, but judging by the name "bonus" (it's also called warebonus in the files) it could be the final mini-game unlocked after you completed everything else. It would make sense, because the game has no actual ending. But the mission seem to be cut because of the fact that a similar mission is already in the game.

Another funny thing to notice: UI file names for some mini-games don't really connect with the exact mini-games. For instance, the Mug Shot mini-game is called PoliceHQ in the menu script, but the building UI is called "pizza_h.bmp". Cafe Attack mini-game building is called "jewelry_h.bmp". It might mean that initially they planned to create some different mini-games and a pizza one might be even confirmed, judging by the fact that it was in the main PS2/Xbox/GameCube version of the game.

Catch The Crook#

There are some unused camera snap pictures. For some reason one of them is worse in quality. Maybe they are somehow used in prerendered cutscenes, but no scripts use them.

Mug Shot#

Some faces created for this mini-game were unused. One of them is clearly a placeholder template, but others look like they could be used. Try not to puke!

Wall Crawler#

There are some unused people, obstacles, and one cat fully animated. Some of them are in the scripts, but the lines are commented. Also, there's some unused line.

Warehouse Infiltration#

There are two unused elements and also unused sprites of one laser. This exact laser possibly was unused, because only the laser itself was used (top_short1_LZR) and the metal thingy of this laser was put on backgrounds of the levels.

Lab Work 101#

For some reason, there's many unused animations and sprites for that mini-game.

UI#

There is some unused "Print" UI button. It looks like some temporary design and it's unclear why it wasn't removed from the files of the game. The button uses the box art of Neversoft's Spider-Man 2000.

Menu#

A UI element for locked minigames. This suggests that at least one minigame would have to be unlocked, but in the final game they're all available from the start.

Unused Audio#

Many sounds and some music pieces which aren't present in any script. Some are copies of used sounds, but in other folders. Some are weird placeholders, likely used until the voice talent could be brought in.

Catch The Crook#

Wall Crawler#

Cafe Attack#

Lab Work 101#

Web Slinger#

Warehouse Infiltration / Secret Hideout#

Lots of these unused sounds were related to the cut Secret Hideout mini-game. Also there's a checkpoint.wav sound and it was used, but not from this folder - there's an identical copy of that sound with the same name in the Global folder and it was used from that place.
