Easter Eggs

King's Quest 3: To Heir Is Human
Walk Taran repeatedly into the eastern wall of the room where Fflewddur appears. He will discover a crack in the wall and peek through, seeing someone playing "King's Quest 3: To Heir Is Human" on the other side.

Glitches

Exceed maximum score
When required to give a musical instrument to the king of the fair folk (and having to choose between the Harp and the Lute), if you're quick enough you can squeeze in giving them both before the plot continues, getting 10 points for each. This way, it's possible to end up with 240 out of 230 points at the end of the game.
