Hi! This is my first post on The Cutting Room Floor! I have some mid 90's educational CD-ROM games that were made with Macromedia that I would like to check for hidden content. These games include SkyTrip America (A PC Edutainment game that teaches US history.), Nile: Passage to Egypt (A PC Edutainment game that teaches the history of the Nile River.) & Big Job (A PC Edutainment game that was made to get kids interested in construction.). I do know that SkyTrip America does have at least one piece of hidden content in it that I had accidentally discovered when I tried playing a badly scratched version of it in a Windows 3.1 virtual PC & the game glitched out & showed some error messages, followed by a piece of hidden content. I would like to know what software I could use to examine the game files. Thank you.

The Director files that are in the SkyTrip America game are protected.

I was able to get into the Macromedia dir files by using a program called dirOpener & a trial version of Adobe Director 12 & was also able to find some hidden content.

Sorry for the (Over a month long.) wait, but here's some of what I found in the SkyTrip America game.

Debug login screen with Beta testers' names. (The images in the background are actually 360 degree images - I couldn't actually fit in the entirety of the 360 degree images, also I decided to censor a bad word in one of the names.).








"Tumbleweed USA" screenshot which shows that the game was supposed to have a (possible) "Gold Mining" minigame.


Beta "Mine Maze" minigame menu with White screen.


Beta "Mine Maze" minigame menu with Black screen.


Beta "Mine Maze" minigame "Game Over" screen.


"Mine Maze" screenshot with ladder (The ladder was not in the final game.).


"Mine Maze" screenshot with ladder, can of beans & kerosene street lamp. (The kerosene street lamp ended up being located in different parts of the maze.)


"Mine Maze" screenshot with ladder against White backdrop.


"Mine Maze" screenshot with ladder against Black backdrop.


I think they got rid of the ladder because they couldn't get it to work right & I think this also has something to do with them getting rid of the "Gold Mining" minigame, also I think that they may have switched out the "Gold Mining" minigame for one where you have to locate Tumbleweed USAs' stolen kerosene street lamp inside the mine.

Here's some stuff I found in the Nile: Passage to Egypt game, which was made & released by the same producers & company as SkyTrip America (Human Code & Discovery Multimedia.).

Debug login screen with Beta testers' names. For some reason, there's fewer names on this one. (Probably because this game came before SkyTrip America.) (The images in the background, in this game, are also 360 degree images.)


Journal screen with test message.


Test video (Labeled on the disc as HC.MOV.) showing the programmers that worked on this game (& probably on SkyTrip America as well.) that was probably part of an Easter egg (Click on image to view video.).

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
