General

• merge input loops: make one input routine for menu, one for dialogue and one for _c_endIntro (possibly merge it with menu). It would be probably needed as part of the new double-buffering implementation. Should be worthy to investigate if it can be made before.

Nippon Safes

Amiga issues (low-importance):

• The spotlight in the night club should come to a post before Donna enters the stage [Bug #2438549]. The original used a blocking routine to do so.
• Make proper balloons with rounded corners for dialogues [needs a polygon fill routine].

Bugs which occur in the original:

• Dino refuses to talk (Amiga/French). [Bug #1823968]

Big Red Adventure

• Implement music commands.
• Correct MIDI music playback - currently differs from original i.e. part1/msc/stanza.msc
  • Sounds like all events have wrong volume and end up in percussion channel.
• Implement non-blocking fades/other gfx (need some updates to the input loop).
• Fix mouse cursor hide/show. Mouse cursor incorrectly hidden currently (2011-01-13):
  • Re-entering the first room (DOS BRA Demo only).
  • The guy trying to sell you a watch in the park in Part 1.
  • The end of Part 2 when a banana is thrown.

Script bugs:

• a zone called 'occorig' is defined in location 'camalb' in all versions of the game, whereas 'eccorig' is needed.

Amiga:

• Find out how cursors are stretched.
• Correctly position text in dialogue balloons

Tequila & Boom Boom

Implement everything ;)
