 * You can save anywhere, and you are going to need it and furthermore you are probably going to need several save files at once since you can make mistakes easily if you do not understand the situation. (This is documented in the help file included with the game.)
 * In one puzzle there is a potion labeled "DANGER! POISON!" but it is actually and.
 * Spanish Inquisition appears twice because someone (explicitly) does not expect it.
 * A castle has two sides: kingside and queenside.
 * In the game you can go to hell. Once you go through once, he refuses to let you by; he says he won't let you by until hell is freezing.
 * There is one scroll in this game that says that this game is bad because Hitler played it.
 * High score: You can try to complete the game with higher scores by collecting the money, ammunition, etc and not using them much (therefore pacifist run is worth more).
 * Some people have said that if they play this game (possibly to make a video of it), then they might kill themself with a knife. However, other people like this kind of torture.
 * The puzzles are perfectly logical, and full source codes are available. Nevertheless it confuses almost everyone, by the merit of revealing everything. Invisible/hidden things are rare, although you can still save and restore at any point in the game (and occasionally this is precisely what will kill you if you are not careful). Despite being perfectly clear, the codes are what might confuse you more than other things.
 * Some puzzles involve using obscure and seemingly unintentional features of the system to solve a puzzle, for example: In one puzzle a dragon takes away all of your weapons and then tells you to kill all of the other dragons in another room (he will give them back to you once you defeat all of the other dragons). In another area, you have to rearrange digits to create a proper multiplication, and then push the space-bar and the door will open.
