* When you encouner Kenya the lion cub for the first time, you see a short cutscene. When Kenya tries to jump, her back is teared off with waterfall drops. Actor 1 (Kenya) is an AUX image and actor 2 (Waterfall drops) is only displayed around Kenya (Not overlapping). But the complete background of actor 2 is been reset, causing the glitches.

* 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 1 ===
* The background isn't cleared when switching between items in dictionary, when using older demo.  
* Input is disabled in the updated version, after clicking on Fiddler Crab (When he is still trapped in cage), if animation shown, starts with a shaking of the cage. This problem occurs in the original version too.

* The characters in the 'Kitchen' should each sing a unique song
* 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.

* Actor limbs missing when going in and out of 'Lobby'.
* Add support for the custom localization code used to handle speech, in this particular port.

Issues effect full game only
* Invalid rect assert, triggered when clipping a sprite by spriteGroup. Occurs when checking for bonus game, if not enough bonus pieces were gathered.


== Putt Circus issues ==

== Future reference ==

The most recent SCUMM games seem to use a 16 bit pixel depth, requiring major changes to virtual screens in ScummVM, so don't seem worth supporting at this point. This is only a list of their issues for reference.
