Reduced party
If you start the game with fewer than four party members, it will make the death sound as if the missing members have just died.
Guru error
GURU MEDITATION #0400000D.10 - STUDIO NEEDS REPAIRS - LEFT MOUSE TO REPAIR
Two AmigaDOS-style error messages appear in the game code:
GURU MEDITATION #80010000.00
OUT OF MEMORY ERROR
LEFT MOUSE TO BOOT
GURU MEDITATION #0400000D.10
STUDIO NEEDS REPAIRS
LEFT MOUSE TO REPAIR
In The CRPG Addict’s playthrough, the second error “STUDIO NEEDS REPAIRS” appeared. I was also able to trigger it completely be accident, simply by waiting around in the game’s starting area. It seems to be a legitimate bug handler rather than just an easter egg, but it’s currently unclear what triggers the bug. It also reportedly appeared in Captive.
My current guess is that the game state becomes corrupted somehow, such as a monster moving out of bounds. Memory comparison before and after clicking shows a lot of changes to the memory locations responsible for game map, so it may be a function to detect and repair a corrupted game map.
