| 2.6.0 || 2.6.0 || FM Towns || Audio-visual || Fix the color of the Nazis' uniforms while exploring the corridors of Castle Brunwald. They're green in the rest of the game, but the FM Towns version still had the EGA grey palette override in this part of the game. (The VGA version fixed this.)

| 2.5.0 || 2.6.0 || Enhanced || Audio-visual [Content restoration] || Add the animated cigar smoke present in earlier versions to the captain Smirk close-up. In the VGA floppy version (I don't have the EGA version) the smoke was apparently only shown when playing the game from hard disk, not when playing it from the floppies. For whatever reason, the CD version only kept the latter behavior.

| 2.5.0 || 2.6.0 || Enhanced || Content restoration || Restore a few lines of Lemonhead dialog to the scene where he examines the small idol. These lines were present in earlier versions. This affects the English, German, Italian, and Spanish versions. The game is also available in French, but no version has been located with the old lines intact.

| 2.7.0 || 2.7.0 || Enhanced (DOS and Macintosh) || Audio-visual || Use approximately the same colors for the "important notice" about the sleeping dogs as in earlier versions. The new colors were hard to read, and probably not changed intentionally. (The sign is still using the some palette indexes as before, but the palette itself is different.) The SEGA version does not have this problem to begin with, and the FM Towns version solves the readability problem by adding an outline to the font.

The Macintosh instruments are a sufficient subset for this to work well. (2.5.0 is where this behavior was formalized. It worked before that, but only with certain audio drivers.)

| 2.5.0 || 2.6.0 || All || [Content restoration] || Guybrush will speak when getting the map from Rapp Scallion. The game always printed the text, but since there is no delay between the messages you would only see the last one. The setting introduces a delay between them.

The LucasArts Windows interpreter from 2002 used hardcoded English strings for some of the settings, but translations were included in Sam & Max (which uses the same menu) and later titles.

| 2.8.0 || 2.8.0 || All || Restored content || Make it possible for Hoagie to always interact with the fire once it's been lit by Jefferson. A script would set its state to an invalid value most of the time, meaning that Hoagie couldn't even reach it.
