Mortadelo y Filemón: El sulfato atómico is the first of several graphical adventure games based on the Spanish comic characters Mortadelo and Filemon, and one of the most popular.

Unused Development-Related Graphics

Graphic files 96.alg, 97.alg, and 99.alg contain some development-related graphics, including leftover graphics from Drascula: The Vampire Strikes Back (the graphical adventure game Alcachofa Soft made prior to this one) and early low-resolution models for Mortadelo:

In 96.alg, there are some polygons of unknown purpose, a low-resolution charset, and Drascula.

In 97.alg, the polygons have lost their colors, the faces for Drascula have changed, and there are now low-res unused Mortadelo animations in front of the Drascula originals, as well as flipped copies in front of the polygons.

In 99.alg, polygons have color again, there are some new Drascula animations in front of the Mortadelo ones, and some text from Drascula appears in red and blue. Some icons from the final game can be seen here (look, catch, open, close, talk, move), but the first icon, meant for walking, was changed to a white cross in the final game (as can be seen in the intro image).

Unused Text

Unused Items

There are some dummy items whose names are Spanish numbers (most of them incorrectly written). They use the cable texture from the second level (when trying to start the car). These items can appear in-game sometimes due to a glitch, but the player can't do anything with them; the player character will just say that it's an incorrect action.

These dummy items are:

veintidos

veintitres

vientreicuatro

revienteicinco

veintiseis

veintisiente

vientoiocho

ventinueve

treinta

treintayuno

treintaydos

Unused Subtitles

To do: Check if the subtitles can be enabled somehow.

There are text lines for all of the character dialogue in the sound files. All these lines are entirely unused, as the game has no subtitles options.
