Comment (by sluicebox):

 The game errors at startup when building the menu. The third `kAddMenu`
 call passes a menu string with two consecutive backtick characters, that
 fails our validation and we `error` with `"multiple right-aligned markers
 within one menu-item"`. I don't know the menu string format off the top of
 my head, but this doesn't seem to be a fatal error in SSCI. If I change
 the `error` to a `warning` the game runs.

 We'd have to look into into what the menu string is trying to do and
 whether our parser should be adjusted to tolerate it. We could also just
 patch the menu string with a small script patch; we've done that before to
 handle a fan game.
