What ScummVM version did you test it with?

[bluegr]

I tested this on the latest master (upcoming version 2.9.0). Here's an update:

1. Common Errors: Still show up, but they're warnings, and nothing major seems broken
2. All-in-1 Kitchen (both games): Playable with no noticeable issues. The warnings still show in the console

7.1. Coloring: Playable with no noticeable issues
7.2. Building Blocks: Playable with no noticeable issues. The warnings still show in the console. This warning is fixed: "Script 14 has no associated cast member!"
7.3. Crafts: Playable with no noticeable issues

So, all of the games are fully playable now! :) (although some warnings still show up)
