This is a list of things that still need to be handled properly for the Ringworld game:

Known engine bugs:

There's a Valgrind warning in SceneObject::removeObject() about _visage being undefined when it tests for it. ("Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)".
The start play / introduction dialog looks a bit different int the CD version compared to the floppy versions currently implemented. It's positioned slightly differently, the "Introduction" button has a different border (default button, perhaps?), and when clicked the button goes black, not red.
In DOSBox, the button remains selected unless I move the mouse entirely off the button. (Should be fixed now, but the fix is a bit hackish.)
Quitting the game while the inventory dialog is open generates a failed assertion.

Known hardcoded logic bugs in floppy version:

In scene #6100, the Rocks occasionally get drawn on-screen over-sized at the very bottom of the screen. This is most easily noticable by navigating into a sunflower.

Known hardcoded logic bugs in First Wave version:

Scene 2320: When Quinn picks the arms, there a priority glitch (to be verified)
Scene 6100: At the end, texts are not skippable, it looks wrong (to be verified)

Known hardcoded logic bugs in CD version:

Scene 5300: After getting the stasis box, I returned to the food pit (by getting caught again) and spoke to Seeker. He didn't say anything, just walked over to beneath the opening and jumped up through it. Though solid rock, apparently, because it's still described as being covered by a rock. If I escape, and get caught again, Seeker is back in the pit. Otherwise, I don't know where he went.
Scene 2150: Saving in this scene triggers the assertion, "engines/tsage/saveload.cpp:74: void tSage::Serializer::syncPointer(tSage::SavedObject**, Common::Serializer::Version, Common::Serializer::Version): Assertion `idx > 0' failed." Once this is fixed, please check if the elevator works after loading the savegame. There used to be a problem with scene 2320, and still is in scene 2100.
Scene 2100: Loading a savegame from this scene and then using the elevator triggers the assertion, "engines/tsage/graphics.cpp:281: Graphics::Surface tSage::GfxSurface::lockSurface(): Assertion `src' failed."
Scene 5100: There appears to be a hotspot (looks a bit like a cave opening) at the leftmost end of scene 5100, but it doesn't seem to work right. If I try to use it, I'm told that "You can't bring yourself to touch the sickly-blue flesh." and if I try to examine it, I'm told that "The stunned flesheater lies sprawled across the cavern floor." (Possibly only happens after stunning the flesheater.)

Present in the original game:

Scene 4000 (or maybe 4045): If you tell the chief to show you the Tech, Miranda will say "Quinn, it's a simple force field regulator", even if she's not in the room with you because she's stuck with Rock. (Update: This is apparently a bug in the original interpreter as well, but could perhaps be fixed in ScummVM?)
Scene 5300: This may not be a bug, but if I escape this room and are recaptured (by falling into the pit again), Quinn says "Was it something I said?", etc. Is he supposed to say that every time, or just the first time I get here?
