That was something with LA games that tripped me up a couple of times. In both Hit the Road and MI1, I missed an important section and stalled in the game because I didn't realize I could go to the next screen. It was probably more my fault because I didn't move Sam or Guybrush over far enough to see.

I'm slightly venting and making a case why scrolling screens are kind of nice sometimes.
