Trivia

Meaning of Life contains not one but two programming bugs that can make it impossible to complete the game without cheating or using a walkthrough that warns you in advance. Both are in the very last section of the game. The first involves climbing up a ladder to a blank screen and subsequent game crash. The game requires a disc swap at this point but there is no prompt to do so. The second is in the tradition of many classic adventure games: if the player enters "the beach" without two specific items or saves while at the beach then restores later, there will be no way to obtain an item required to win the game.

To date, Meaning of Life has not been patched to address these bugs.
