Comment (by dwatteau):

 Thanks for reporting this.

 It would be nice to see whether the original game was meant to have copy
 protection on, back then (i.e. have someone running the original game on
 original hardware or Amiga emulator).

 I looked at some YouTube videos, and so far I haven't seen any Amiga Let's
 Play where the copy protection screen shows up. (But maybe YouTube players
 cut it from their video, or play a modified game...).

 My hypothesis is that it's maybe an original bug, because it wasn't meant
 to be played with the copy protection screen turned on, and so the issue
 never showed up there. But I have no knowledge of whether LucasArts used
 copy protection for Amiga releases or not, back then.

 Or maybe it truly is a ScummVM bug, as I see that the Amiga release of
 Indy4 appears to run some very specialized code, here and there.

 Anyway, if any Amiga fan can show up to tell us how things behaved on
 original hardware... maybe some folks on the Mixnmojo forums know...
 otherwise it's going to take some time/motivation to investigate this.
