Hmm looks like somebody should examine this to see if it's really a bug or a "feature". Couldn't something like this be debugged using ScummVM or something?

True but I think Lionheart doesn't look very OCSish due to clever use of palettes and the copper. If you compare it to Aladdin, for example, which is an AGA game and has 64 colors but still I think...

Yeah, there are some subtle differences. IIRC on faster CPUs you get moving clouds on the Monkey 1 title screen and some extra animations.

Still a very curious partnership! I wish they had continued it for the other Lucasfilm games as well. The sound in Monkey 2 and Indy IV sucks big time. Just imagine they had done it in TFMX!
