The Last Bounty Hunter (CD-i)

The Last Bounty Hunter
Developer: Capitol Multimedia Publisher: Philips Media Platform: CD-i Digital Video Cartridge Released in EU: 1996 This game has hidden development-related text.

The Last Bounty Hunter is that western light gun game that everyone thinks is part of the Mad Dog McCree series, but technically isn't.

Debugging Files

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Can this debug mode be reactivated in some way?

Two unused files can be found on the disc, both of which contain code and strings meant for a debugging mode controlled using a keyboard and a CD-i dev kit. Said files are almost identical to - and are likely recycled from - their equivalents in Crime Patrol 2: Drug Wars, with only one change between them.

cdi_appld

The first, larger file is cdi_appld, a debug version of the used file cdi_appl. Its contents can be sorted into three segments.

The first segment deals with the gameplay itself, containing various variable strings and debug keys. A huge list of every cutscene can be found after the "Dummy function called" line; this has been excluded for viewing purposes. The custom function section is longer than the one in Drug Wars.
