> You get a quest to do something, but if you then try to click on one of the arcade cabinets it will cause the game to throw an error.

Wait, I'm pretty sure that's the crash to desktop I'm remembering! It was definitely in the arcade. I tried randomly clicking to avoid the Time Police (or whatever those androids were called) and the game would error out. I was never sure if it was an error or copy-protection. I remember winning the game, but don't remember what I did to bypass this (remember: no access to any hint line).

So it was an actual bug, and not copy-protection after all? Wow.
