 run files that are broken or missing. Any error messages that ask for the
 following files can't be fixed and should be ignored.

 said, its not a missing file, At some point during
 || ||development, they renamed it to "BIBLQUIZ.AIF" and didn't update the
 the storybook

 ||__**Testing**__ ||If you make a copy of "BIBLQUIZ.AIF", rename this copy
 to Rockettt.Aif
 || ||and put it into game folder, it works perfectly.

 ----
 == Start Up & Main Menu
 While no longer game breaking, the main menu are still broken and becomes
 unusable if your not careful where you put your mouse cursor. The best way
 to test this is to move your mouse over the buttons a few times, the more
 you do it, the more broken it gets.

 ||WARNING: Adding \0 to String. This is permitted, but can have unwanted
 consequences.
 ||WARNING: Cast::loadCastInfo(): BUILDBOT: string # 13
 ||WARNING: Frame::readMainChannelsD5(): STUB: unk2: 0x00 0x01!

 == Storybook - Paul and the Bright Light
 Works but has some UNK stub errors

 == Discover The Bible
 It mostly works but has three issues

 * It gives messages related to sound.

 ||WARNING: SNDDecoder: Unsupported command: 0!
 ||WARNING: Sound::load(): Invalid loop bounds detected. Disabling looping
 for cast member id 294, sndId 765!

 * Pressing the up or down scroll button will cause parts of the UI to
 disappear
 ||WARNING: Sprite::getShape(): kCastMemberSprite has no cast defined!
 ||WARNING: Sprite::getShape(): kCastMemberSprite has no cast defined!

 * If you click bible icon twice, the text will brake. the status window
 gives no error messages when this happens
 [[Image(Untitled.png)]]

 == Hall of Fame
 Works but has some UNK stub errors

 == Bible-Time Theater
 Works well, videos play without graphical issues.

 == Fun & Games Menu & The Mini-Games themselves.

 **Menu**:
 It works well

 **Matching Game**:
 It works well but the audio that plays when you finish the board is
 missing. This is a ScummVM issue as this bit of audio plays normally when
 playing the game on Windows 98.

 **Maze**:
 It seems to work but this game bring up an issue shows up throughout the
 game, ScummVM is not loading the correct cursor graphics, for example, in
 this maze "hide and seek" game, the cursor is supposed to turn into a
 magnifying glass when place over a spot that can be searched but in
 ScummVM, the cursor either become invisible or turn into the hand icon.

 ||WARNING: Cursor::readFromCast: Needs array of 2!

 **''__This photo shows the Maze game running in x86Box with the correct
 cursor graphics__''**

 **Dot to Dot**:
 The first "Dot to Dot" seems always work but the second one (after he says
 "that was fun, lets play again") will always have broken graphics (aka,
 the line that connects each dot together is missing)

 **Bible Memory**:
 Works with some errors, the second seems to be related to a graphical
 issue where a box (with text in it) leaves two noticeable pieces of itself
 on screen. While a minor issue in this game, there is a good chance that
 whatever is causing this effecting another game more severely
 ||WARNING: Frame::readMainChannelsD5(): STUB: unk2: 0x00 0x01!
 ||WARNING: b_puppetTransition: Transition already queued!
 [[Image(2.JPG)]]

 **Puzzles**:
 Works with a minor graphical issue on the puzzle selection menu, there is
 a thin white line that shouldn't be there.

 **Help Button Horror**:
 After selecting help button in the puzzle game, the game crashed and this
 cause domino effect were pressing almost any of the buttons in the button
 bar now has a chance of cause a crash.

 ||WARNING: BUILDBOT: Uncaught Lingo error: No match found for cast member!
 Builtin 'member' did not return value

 **Word Games**:
 Works

 == Bible Quiz Show
 Works

 == Miscellaneous Notes
 These files seem to be leftovers from when the game been developed that
 somehow made it every copy of the game
