Some games refuse to run if the `screen' is too small. Typically they issue
an error and exit, but some just exit. The font and window sizes in the
default Acorn distribution are tuned to allow all the games I've tested to
run, although Beyond Zork can make use of more lines if you can fit them into
your favourite screen mode. For the Psion, some games (such as Trinity)
require 60+ columns and so simply cannot be played without adding panning
to the display code; IMHO this is simply not worth it.
Caret handling in the Acorn version is slightly broken (this seems to be a
pain to get right.)
Screen redraw when using VisiClues occaisionally slows to a crawl; this is an
unfortunate interaction between the proportional font support and smart
screen update by the game.
