== Fun Shop titles ==
Issues effect demo and full game.

* Graphical glitches on right screen edge during ending credits, as creatures reach right side of screen. The drawing section of akos codecs needs to be adjusted to draw inside rect (src/dst) limits.


== Freddi Fish 3 ==
==Russian versions==
* A black vertical strip is drawn over key, when the key is trapped in the Darkroom.
* The Russian company logo shown at the start of many games, is missing most of the white color sections. The missing sections use palette slot 255, palette slot 255 is skipped when setting the room's palette, due to a RGB of 255, 255, 255. Caused by a missing palette difference somewhere or maybe a color miscalculation in drawStripHE() ?


== Freddi Fish and Luther's Water Worries ==
=== Freddi Fish 1 ===
* Russian updated version has bad picture in resource which shows up as garbage even with original interpretator. It crashes ScummVM at elast under Win32. With FreeBSD it works ok.

== Let's Explore with Buzzy Games ==
=== Freddi Fish and Luther's Water Worries ===
* Graphical glitches around screen edges (ie when trying to go outside in farmdemo) sometimes. The drawing section of akos codecs needs to be adjusted to draw inside rect (src/dst) limits.
* The updated version has a bad picture in the resources, which shows up as garbage, even in the original version. It crashes ScummVM (under Windows), and is caused by the cleanup of code in drawStripHE() in the past.
