** One of Laura's missing items is a StatusCellPhone. Sure, it was normal for an adult to own a cell phone when the game was released in 1996, but it was still almost unheard-of for a preteen child to have one, hence the old trope still applying.

** On the map in the Pirate Ship game, the UsefulNotes/DemocraticRepublicOfTheCongo is still Zaire, and there's no UsefulNotes/SouthSudan. Even though it was in 1997 that Zaire became the DRC, this isn't updated in the 1998 re-release. Also, one of the clues for UsefulNotes/SouthAfrica identifies Nelson Mandela as the country's current president because that could never possibly become dated. A similar clue that took much longer to become dated identifies UsefulNotes/ElizabethII as the "current ruler" of the UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom.

** The Mummy's Crypt is essentially like mahjong, but there's a certain order that you have to remove the tiles. If you choose a wrong one, get ready to hear a annoying cat's yowling and if you don't clear it out in the proper order, you have to start over again. Get ready to ''really'' hate that cat's yowling.

* ThatOnePuzzle: The Toad Well is one of the most hated minigames, thanks to its awkward controls, required multitasking, and the fact that it's got one of the longest individual rounds of any timed minigame, with no on-screen timer to indicate when you're nearing the end of it.
