- All town building points are based on the Tile Max values. Entering them in as they are will place the door entrance along the far left side of the screen.

- The DOS version of the game does not update this data when you save, which is why you ALWAYS end up in Muralla when you die/ use the feather.

NOTES:

• The LIFE bar displays 1 pixel for every 4 HP you have, rounded down. Some sites misreport this information as 8 HP because they are using a lower resolution to play the game, like CGA, TGA or MCGA, which reduces the resolution to 320 x 200. The native resolution for this game is 640 x 200 (stretched to 640 x 400).
