Wolfschanze 1944 Leftovers

Easily the weirdest part of the game is data from another game, Wolfschanze 1944, which was developed two years prior by Calaris Studios. Calaris and Frontline share a lot of staff between both studios, so they may be separate development teams owned by the same parent company. data/gfx/menu is where the leftover data is located.

Unused Graphics

Thumbs.db

This game has many Thumbs.db files, which contain thumbnails to all the files in a specific folder, and there are some that aren't in the folder anymore. The one in the data folder contains some really odd stuff.

The thumbnail of the folder itself.

A temporary loading screen.

Leftovers from Chicken Shoot, unsurprisingly from the same developers. For some reason, they're normally upside-down.

Loading Test

The front of a car pasted over and over.

Weird HUD Stuff

Graphics for the HUD of... an obscure 2005 PC game by Calaris Studios licensed from the famous Polish comic series called Tytus, Romek i A'Tomek.

Various other HUD stuff.

Unused Level Screen

In levels_screens.bmp (the image for all the level previews), there is text in the bottom-right corner reading "wolne", which means "free" in Polish.

SDK Leftovers

The only sound in sound/sound_data.brsar is Yoshi.

The sound folder has two leftover MIDI files from the Wii SDK.
