Unused Images
Placeholder Scores Screen
An early scores screen placeholder image is present in RECORDS.PIC. It has some zeroed scores in it with a different font.
Intro Image
The unused image PRESENT.PIC has its own palette PRESENT.PAL and might be an early intro image for the game.
Unused Language Selection Palette
Unused palette file IDIOMA.PAL seems to be a palette for a cut language selection screen. In the final game, the language is set during the installation.
Developers Console
There are some strings in MENUS.EXE referring to a developers console. It's unknown if it can still be reactivated.
RTHUNDER CONSOLE MODE SPAWNED USE AT YOUR WILL NO HELP AVAILABLE CONSOLE: PRESS ESC TO QUIT CONSOLE
Cut Debug Mode
In the THUNDER.INI file created by MENUS.EXE to tell JUEGO[64][M].EXE the track to play and the options, there's a line in the MISCELANEOUS category with:
Debug Mode = FALSE
This line is hardcoded into MENUS.EXE, and changing its value to TRUE does nothing as JUEGO[64][M].EXE just ignores this property.
Cheat Functionality
There are some strings in MENUS.EXE referring to a cheat option.
CCHEAT CHEAT MODE ON CHEAT MODE OFF
Unused Sounds
Game Sounds
Ambient sound SAM5.WAV never plays:
Intro Sounds
Menu and intro video sounds are stored in the DIGITAL folder from the CD. There are a lot of unused sounds in this folder. These unused sounds seem to be related to an early version of the intro video.
