Disc Archaeology
Findings from a byte-level analysis of the US retail disc image (671,703,040 bytes / 327,680 blocks; 211 filesystem entries).
The credits ship as a text file
/Art/credits.txt (3,416 bytes) contains the entire production's credits and talent biographies as plain text — including the note that the child co-star is Zachery Ty Bryan, "a star of ABC's Home Improvement" and "a forward with the California Flyers". The file preserves some of the loosest credit lines pressed onto any 3DO disc: Grip & Electric by "Lights, Cables & Heavy Stuff", Catering by "Beyond Paradise", graphics by "Graphyduck Productions", and a thank-you to "The whole gang in Florida for kickin' it around with us". The full list is reproduced in this page's Credits section.
A series menu in the art folder
/Art contains selector icons not just for soccer but for the whole IntelliPlay instructional line: baseball.cel, football.cel, golfball.cel, tennis.cel and auto.cel — the series' cross-title branding art riding along on the soccer disc.
Structure notes
The instructional video ships as 22 stream files named sivt_10.str through sivt_500.str — numbered in gappy tens and hundreds (10, 20, 30... 100, 120, 130... 500), a chapter numbering scheme with room left for insertions, suggesting the curriculum was reorganized during production.
Filesystem notes
The root directory copies verify hash-identical. The copies of /System/Folios, Programs, Scripts and rom_tags disagree between generations — the common multi-pass mastering artifact, pressed into every disc; not dump damage.
Unallocated space
32,675 blocks (~64 MB, 10% of the disc) belong to no file, in a single run. Every byte was checked: 100% standard iamaduck mastering filler, nothing hidden inside.
