Comment (by m-kiewitz):

 The graphical glitch in Quest for Glory 1 VGA that I already mentioned is
 also funny, it's still a glitch and we patch it out and thus you can not
 see it in ScummVM either. Maybe I could even change the script patch, so
 that the game doesn't lock up afterwards, but the graphical glitch still
 happens. Still I wouldn't see the point of it.

 Sierra fixed the glitch in every other version of Colonel's Bequest and it
 looks like a script bug and I think it's wrong to hide such a bug fix
 under "game enhancements", because the average user will not enable that,
 may see this glitch (it happens on random chance, it's not like you have
 to do some secret combination of actions to get it) and report it as a
 game bug, which it is. So in the end we will have a bug report about this,
 which will say "please enable game enhancements to see that it's actually
 an easter egg", which is in my opinion ridiculous.

 I would rather implement a Colonel's Bequest specific game option to get
 this glitch instead.
 In fact we could even do a script patch that breaks it in all versions, so
 that someone who wants to experience it doesn't have to own the DOS
 version.

 Again: if it was disabled in DOS, and we would enable it, that would be a
 different story. Or if we added it in DOS. But we don't. That's what was
 done for these content restorations.

 Sierra cared enough about it that they fixed it themselves in every other
 version and I think one should acknowledge that.
