the third one
When the intro screen "GET OUTTA SPACE QUEST by Joey
Rinella and Jon Swiderski" comes up, one can wait for
the next screen (black with some text on it) to come
up AND wait even more to get the intro screen mentioned
above looped.
Problem is the reloaded intro screen is now messed up,
sometimes worse than before, it is being looped by a
shaking of the screen.
Seems like a script/graphics combination bug?

Tested with DOSBox 0.70 and "Sierra.com" provided with the
archive. AGI interpreter v2.936 doesn't run the game.
In the original the screen is simply shaken again after
some time and the (c) string is added to the bottom of the
game window. No graphics corruption.
No, it does not relate to flawed word wrapping implementation. In fact it just did not even attempted to perform any wrapping at that place.
Fixed in SVN
Oops. Wrong ticket. Now I really obliged to fix it :)
Could you, please, provide screenshot from ScummVM? Seems that I cannot reproduce it here.
Aha. Running under dosbox pretty soon lead to message:
"Script buffer overflow. Maximum size = 50. Press ESC to quit."
So it is in fact bug in the original.
This bugreport has been moved to Wiki to relevant Engine/TODO page. When the bug will be resolved, an appropriate message will be posted here and the bugreport link removed from Wiki
The scripts try to draw the title somewhere outside of the screen. This resulted even in memory corruption in original AGI. I now added checks to ignore such screen objects, which means the screen is simply black when it happens in this game. A warning is also given to the user.
It's a game bug anyway.
