Unused Graphics#

Demo Leftovers#

The following piece of text is present in INTERN.TXT.

[*008*] PLEASE RESET THE CONSOLE AFTER PLAYING THIS DEMO

Four sets of screenshots from an earlier version are also present, which have some minor differences, such as missing HUD pieces in some of the screenshots and the default Tintin health bar in the Black Island, Land of Black Gold and Explorers of the Moon screenshots. Usually the image of Tintin is changed to feature the outfit he is wearing in the level.

Various unused graphics found with the graphics for the Memory Card menu.
