Techincal information
This game is written in Game maker 6, which doesn't run properly under Windows Vista. A utility, GM_CONVERT_GAME, is available to resolve this issue.

Character setup
You are given 250 gold, and start with a Dagger, Leather Armor, and No Shield.

After selecting additional equipment, you can assign additional points to health, damage, or defence.

Walkthrough
One combination to try is to take two sets of keys, a torch, and spending everything else on food. This generally means your character isn't meant to perform combat, but you shouldn't spend too much time or energy fighting monsters with a limited reward.
