There *are* problems with this... in Hoyle's Book of Games, the game now
fails after painting the screen blue (for the intro). I have traced the
problem to be a corruption of the game code... by the menu code
(bytecode, not FreeSCI). It inserts strings like "Current volume is 65535"
(or something like that) into the code stream using Format(). Died by
natural causes, what can I say... :-)
The cause for this is a stray local variable pointer, obtained about 1000
instructions before the crash.

Okay, let's have a look at it.
