A portion of the transcription was provided by [[J. Allen Brack]] who commented on [https://www.facebook.com/banditloaf/posts/198797173479574 Facebook]: "''The line you will never understand, i.e., the line we most made fun of, is 'We're in unequivocal commit! We can't even manage a jump out!'. Just think what those neurons could be doing if I hadn't worked on that project. Terribly sad I still remember.''"

== 25th Anniversary ==
<B>NARRATOR</B>: They're taking it to the stars and taking it to the limit.


On May 20, 2020, Privateer 2: The Darkening director [[Steve Hilliker]] released [[The Darkening 25th Anniversary Restoration]] which featured footage restored from Betacam tapes. The footage has been edited down into a cinema cut but where available it is of much higher quality than the game's files. 1_S is cut down and appears slightly later as a flashback in the 25th Anniversary Restoration cut.
<B>ARCHER</B>: Let's go.

== Betacam ==
== Commercial Break A Out ==
 
A pair of Betacam SP tapes recovered from [[Digital Anvil]] have provided high quality versions of much of Privateer 2: The Darkening's Main Plot. These cuts are not final and digital effects are missing. 1_S is noticeably longer than the final version.
