| Adiboo: Magical Playland |
|---|
Also known as: Adibou 2 (FR), Adi Junior / Addy Junior (DE) This game has a hidden developer message. |
Key Files
In the latest releases of the game, the developers included two additional files within their resource archives, which aren't used in-game but serve a different purpose.
Each file contains a secret that can be more or less easily found.
They are conveniently named BOU.KEY and BOU1.KEY to make them more suspicious (no other file has a .KEY extension) and placed at the end of their container file, INTROENV.STK.
BOU.KEY
Probably the more interesting of the two. This is actually a 256-color palette indexed BMP file, but viewing it will only give a mostly black image with seemingly random colors.
However, it actually hides Windows-1252 encoded text data, where each row of the BMP represents one line in the resulting text, and each pixel value the character code. To add more complexity, each pixel value is the flipped version of the character code.
In the end, the result is a humorous text written in French by the developers. It also serves as an hidden credit list of the dev team.

BOU1.KEY
This one seems more straightforward than the BOU.KEY.
It is actually a VMD file, a proprietary multimedia format used by the game to store video/animation and audio data. This one only contains an audio track that plays the intro theme of the 80s TV series Magnum, P.I.
