Newspaper "Bust-out Backfires"
1:01:46 Failing Parkview by taking too long in the same place (legitimately unable to get the mouse to move in the right direction)

Probably the only things not covered are failing to finish Vigo and being captured by the orderlies in Parkview inside the room (it's hard to dodge them with the mouse as well.) This is why the 2015 video doesn't have Parkview, that build of Dosbox just couldn't get it.
