    ""TheDeveloperDude" notes, in the DOS version, both the lack of encounters in the dungeons [...] and the negative experience point bug, which somehow allows for infinite leveling."

    "Our solution to add a bit of copy protection was to put vital information required to succeed at the game into the manual. This is why there are numbered maps both in the manual and on the sleeve of the manual."
