Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Party Edition

To do:
Examine the graphics files.

Like the original game, but with weird caricatures and extra multiplayer modes.

Unused Dialogue#

Outtake#

Within Speech.fsb is a voice clip of Chris Tarrant being more than a bit rude. The fact that this was kept in the files could have been deliberate on Climax's part. - "Well it seems a shame that you're leaving this early, but if you don't know the answer, it's your choice (Fuck me, you are thick). Come back soon to playWho Wants to Be a Millionaire, you dim bastard. ...whaddaya think?"

Trade Show Dialogue#

Also in Speech.fsb is a series of specially-recorded voice clips of Chris Tarrant, presumably for Eidos presentations at trade shows.

Unused Music#

For some reason, Music.fsb contains almost the entire soundtrack of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, making many of the tracks unused. Names in Description column are taken from official album and if the sound didn't make it there, from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? wiki. The soundtrack is lower pitched by a half semitone.
