New description:

 This was tested on Windows 10 x64, with the Steam version of the game, and
 a recent local build of ScummVM from master HEAD.

 In order to add the game, ScummVM was pointed at the game folder as
 instaled by Steam. This folder contains both the files for the EGA and the
 CGA versions of the game.

 In this scenario, ScummVM's detection offers two options:
 "Chamber of the Sci-Mutant Priestess (DOS/English (US))" or "Chamber of
 the Sci-Mutant Priestess (EGA/DOS/English (US))"

 Selecting the second option (the EGA entry) will still result in the game
 attempting to launch the CGA version when launching the game. Also, in
 this case, there is no option to explicitly set the renderer to EGA from
 the graphics tab, when overriding the global settings, since the game
 seems to be the CGA version as far as ScummVM detected.

 I am unsure if this is considered a "bug" since the wiki implies
 separating the files in dedicated folders for each version.
