Does

One or two, yes. There's at least one ILB (though for all I know I
might have let one slip through that's going to cause havoc later
on). By and large the most prominent "quirky feature" is the rather
unique visual effect that comes from a bug in the flashing guardians.
There's also a cart-load of promised land effects scattered
throughout the game
