Description
Using ScummVM daily build from 2017-13-01 13:06:25 (1.10.0git1663-g804058eb21).
Repro:
Start Hoyle Children's Collection.
Expected:
Only 3 games should be enabled for playing: Checkers, Old Maid and Crazy Eights.
Actual:
All the games from the full Hoyle 5 are enabled.
Trying to run any of them results in a crash, similar to this one (for Solitaire):

Thanks for the fix!
Since you also addressed the Bridge variant, may I suggest launching this game will go directly to the Bridge game instead of the main menu? It's pretty pointless for a single game.
This game creates Windows shortcuts that go directly to the individual games, so Sierra never bothered to disable buttons on the main menu since the main menu is normally inaccessible. Making the main menu work as expected will require a script patch that adds functionality that did not exist in the original game.
