i overplayed the sequel "knight of diamonds" and was lost in the deepest dungeon areas doing circles and using the teleport spell with a map and a throw away wizard that i would level up just for that purpose. my real party (which had two open spaces for more disposable members) consisted of 2 paladins a wizard and a thief. the thief leveled up fast compared to everyone else, and was the most necessary character cuz of chests and loot man, you gotta have someone who can pick locks. well i got him up to lev106 over time and i found this coin that changed character classes. i had a new thief leveled and was willing to take the risk on the thief and it turned him into a ninja.
with nothing equipped he had a -27 AC, he attacked 10 times with each hit having a chance of inflicting instant death, which was overkill for most things anyway. generally when he attacked a group of enemies, they died. i ended up kicking out a fighter that was catching up to the paladins, but that ninja was insane, 1111hp he had to be in the first 3 though to attack without ranged weapon.

Wow I had no idea all that was behind this game, I. Didn't even know it was available for other consoles. What I remember is that it was really hard and yes, the map had to be drawn by hand
