Notes

• FW is completable (albeit currently only if the copy protection is activated), OS is not.
• There are a couple of known glitches in FW:
  • Sprites are often not masked properly.
  • In some places, restoring a savegame does not properly restore all the graphics. The first example of this is the office when the map is shown.
    • This may be related to the missing implementation of createVar9Element() and related functions.
  • When opening the secret passage early in the game, the "hero" sprite is drawn in the upper left corner.
    • It seems to be related to the scripted appearence of object 70 through o1_loadMask0(), but I don't know what is going wrong to make it be drawn like that.
  • Menu colors are wrong during the intro. Possibly in other places as well.
  • The sound effect of the moving scaffolding in the first room is missing.
• The INVENTORY command is not implemented.
• The savegame user interface is incomplete. Savegames cannot be named.
• OS exists in 2 version: a low-color (atari) and a hi-color (PC).
• CinE has only been tested with the PC versions.
• There is a hack in CinE to bypass both FW and OS protection screens. FW bypass is made by booting the auto00 inlined in the code, OS is bypassed by forcing a specific value in the engine (this is the actual methode used to restart the game while not returning to the protection screen)
• Cruise for a corpse is not supported by cinE, but by cruisE, an independent engine
• Savegames are not compatible with the original PC version.
• Only the Adlib music is used so far, but a MT-32 track is available in the resources
