What happens in the Quirkafleeg room?
You die as soon as you enter the room only if you’ve visited The Attic. This is the infamous, nay, legendary “Attic Bug”. It came about from some corrupt sprite data, from the centipede, which corrupted a few other screens. Software Projects released a statement telling people how to MERGE the loader and add 4 pokes to cure it, which was reputedly the first (and only?) time a software house had done so. Software Projects actually admitted this in an advertising campaign, and claimed that the rooms were filled with poison gas, and it was a “feature” to make you go back to the Master Bedroom through a harder route. The four Official Pokes were: • Moving an invisible object from the First Landing to The Hall (42183,11) • Removing a killer object from the Conservatory Roof (60231,0), • Changing a block in the Banyan Tree to a walk-through type (56876,4) • The Attic bug fix Poke (59901,82).
