Issue was reported recently on forum of German's Simon the Sorcerer fan site too, been meaning to add bug report for it. Unfortunately this is another problem which only effects the DOS versions, it doesn't occur in simon1win.

This seems to be due to a conflict between two sprite. When the candle light sprite near door is activated (When Simon moves close) the chest disappears. When the candle light sprite near door is deactivated (When Simon moves away) the chest is shown again. It is clear to see when background images are disabled via 'i' key.

In simon1win only the the jar top disappears (Replaced by background image of jar top) when the candle light sprite is actived. So the problem is two sprites are been deactived together in simon1dos/talkie when only one sprite should be.

Also occurs in PocketPC version. Helped me find the trap door though :)

So is this a scripting bug (a difference between Simon DOS and WIN scripts) ? If so, could a workaround be added?

Or is it a code difference between Simon DOS and WIN?

The chest sprite (1627) is killed via vga script code and I see no difference in that vga script code, when comparing DOS and Windows versions of the game.. The sprite id's refer to different images in the DOS version though, at least in this scene. A workaround would not be possible.

I have not noticed any code difference in the related functions when looking through disasm. of the game in the past.

It looks like the DOS versions of the game, handle draw flag 0x4 differently, to allow sprites to be displayed in situations like this.
