---------------------------------------+---------------------------
 When one starts up the original DOS version of Putt-Putt Joins the Parade,
 there is a chance one gets a little clip that plays advertising their next
 game Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise and says it's coming soon. SCUMMVM
 does correctly emulate this. The problem is that the game actually looks
 at the system time and either plays a version of that clip that says
 coming soon or one that says now available if the date is later than
 ~April 1993. SCUMMVM appears to be stuck in 1992 and only ever plays the
 coming soon screen. I have no idea if any other SCUMM games have system
 time checks like and I don't know how worthwhile adding in a feature that
 would let you set the system time would be. At very least it should
 probably default to the device you're running it on's system time. I hope
 this isn't too frivolous of a ticket and actually interesting from an
 emulation standpoint that SCUMM has system time checks.
