Unused Graphics

BEL_LEGAL.tif

An old legal screen with a copyright date of 2002.

BEL_LEGAL01.png

Another old legal screen with a copyright date of 2003.

BEL_UI.tif

A main menu background made around the same time as the legal screen from 2002.

splash_01.png

A main menu background presumably from 2003 as well. Considering that the game was already on Milestone 20 at that point, perhaps it had a prolonged development cycle that pushed its release to late 2005.

language_TEMPLATE.tif

An old version of the Language Select screen.
