Dummy File

In the CD version of Collapse! Crunch, there is a dummy file at X:\Bin\Launcher_Data.dbd. This file apparently is a DemoShield file, but it opens as a WAV file with VLC or MPC-HC. From 00:00:00 to 00:02:59 there is no audio, from 00:03:00 to 00:07:40 there is a camcorder audio of kids trying to sing "Jingle Bells", possibly one of the developer's sons. There is silence again from 00:07:41 to 00:12:17 until a repetition of DTMF tones cover the rest of the recording. The audio lasts for 1 hour and 2 minutes.
