Essential Improvements
Run in DOSBox
To improve DOSBox performance make the following changes to the DOSBox configuration file:

memsize=16tomemsize=00 - Change
cycles=autotocycles=100 - Change
xms,emsandumbtofalsevalues.

Save game data location
- Pressing Esc returns you to the main menu and saves your inventory and location. If you kill the game process (or the emulator it's running in) whilst you're still in game, both these items will be reset (similar to being caught or dying). Rank and castle are not affected by this.
