Hidden Images

The following JPEG format images were extracted from Spirits & Spells. The first image also appears in Road Rash: Jailbreak whereas the second image appears in Road Rash: Jailbreak and Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. The third and fourth images are unique to Spirits & Spells. The images appear in the American, Japanese and European (See note below) releases. It is currently unknown if there is a code that will cause the game to display these images or if they were simply used for padding.

The first picture has クレモン (KUREMON) written in Katakana. Going by the credits for the game, it may be Clément Cordé, an in-house programmer.

A Note Regarding Castleween

It is assumed that all of the images appear in the European release as well but as of this writing there is no known clean dump of Castleween, only a version with a hacked intro and another with that intro removed. In the hacked ROM, only the fourth image is extractable but, due the the European release coming between the Japanese and American releases, it is likely that the intro overwrote the location of the first three images.
