 Replying to [comment:9 obskyr]:
 > From what I can tell by the wording of the wiki article, the “Enable
 game-specific enhancements” box is checked by default, no?

 If it is enabled per default, then that's another matter.
 I would have to look into that.

 >I filed this ticket not because I want this one specific bug to be
 restored, but because I want to make sure that any Sierra games I play via
 ScummVM in the future have original bugs (at least non-breaking ones)
 intact, so that I get to experience them. I'm not interested in putting a
 new bug into versions that didn't have it, and can't imagine anyone would.

 Well, another question is what is non-breaking bugs?

 Missing points should be kept?
 What about music volume issues?
 Unresponsive controls (but still working in general, see QfG1 VGA combat)?
 There is also special script code that Sierra did for the intro of Freddy
 Pharkas, where in ScummVM you don't see it scaling in, simply because
 ScummVM doesn't display new frames all the time, and because of that inner
 loop you can't see it scaling up anymore. That doesn't break the game.
 What about audio + text at the same time, when it wasn't possible
 originally? Disable that too, despite there being an option to disable
 that/not enable it?
 What about new graphical option for both in KQ6? That's non-breaking, but
 removing it would mean you can't play the games "without enhancements" but
 with audio + subtitles anymore.
 Dialog getting cut off in Gabriel Knight 1 (one would have to test how
 that worked on slow hardware, did it play fully on slow hardware? If so,
 then what's the reference? What a slow machine did, or what a fast machine
 did?)

 Some are simple, but for some it gets really complicated.
