ICEMAN: Russian ship kills you immediately

Description
Codename: ICEMAN (Dos/English) ScummVM 1.2.0SVN 51504 Windows 7 x64
When you first see the Russian ship, where I believe the Captain is supposed to fall sick and leave you some time to get back to the control panel, the Russian ship immediately kills you before you can do anything. I assume this is some sort of timer bug. Attached a savegame to show the bug.

you have to enter "talk to captain" asap when you get on top. You won't get shot down then during that scene (which would result into instant-death). If you wait a few seconds and then talk to him, it will be too late.

That is sort of true. If you do it fast enough you'll be able to see the scene where the captain gets knocked out, but you could still be killed instantly. You have to turn the speed way down to survive. So I suppose it is possible to complete the game. I'll finish testing it later.
Anyway, I don't remember it behaving like this in the original interpreter, but it's been quite a few years since I last played the game.

You don't have to change the speed at all. I did it with speed 6, which is the default speed of the game, I even beat the submarine and the destroyer, I also managed to get through the icebergs at that speed.
The captain will get knocked out, you will get some windows behind a blue screen and afterwards you need to get to the submarine control fast as well. I had no issues at all with this - well the first time I died, because I didn't do anything and the captain just waited for his death.
I actually completed this game some months ago. It's definitely beatable. We had some bad parser issues, but those are fixed already.

Just one more update on this -- after your post I figured out what causes this. The problem was that I had the speed set at 5 because the default speed drags for me. Turns out if you have the speed below 6 there it's impossible not to die, but 6 or above and you are fine. I guess it's a simple enough workaround.
