* Working fine currently due workaround inside speed throttler for room 290
* Pushups (room 380) are machine speed dependent. That one is calculated after the ranchy questions (room 290). Machine speed is calculated by counting cycles for 60 ticks (1 second).
* Points accumulation won't get shown on too slow machines, our sci gets detected in lsl3 as slower than pc at, so it's also not shown there

* NONE OF THE FOLLOWING ISSUES OCCUR IN OUR SCI

* after entering the ship with your robot, you will see the timepod shortly fully and then it will start appearing - it's a script issue that seems to occur on faster machines even in dos-box - setting a breakpoint on robotIntoShip::changeState "solves" it. (Timing is controlled by cycleCnt in Beg::init and Beg::nextCel)

* None of those following were apparent during my playthrough, so the speed throttler seems to work well
* NONE OF THE FOLLOWING ISSUES OCCUR IN OUR SCI
* In the Arcada, you'll notice the screen is shaking and shaking. And it should (every once in a while). Your ship is under attack, remember?!? But on faster computers, it just won't stop. And that's incredibly annoying.

* You will dehydrate in the desert way too soon. A message will pop up almost immediately when you've landed, telling you you need to drink. You'll die of thirst before you can even think of exploring the planet.
