Dummied Out is now trivia. Moving examples accordingly.

* DummiedOut:
** Some features of the original 8-bit versions of the game failed to make the transition to the 16-bit ports, although artifacts of them remain in the game. For example, an encounter on the final level of the first game (with 2 Liches) can only be activated by going to a particular location after the final battle but before leaving the dungeon; however, the 16-bit ports automatically return you to the Adventurer's Guild immediately upon winning the final battle, meaning that it's impossible to ever have that encounter. The location in question is still flagged as special, however, suggesting that the code for the encounter, or part of it, is still present.
** The first game has several magic items defined in its database (like 'Death Dagger' and 'Travelhelm') which cannot ever be obtained (they aren't given out by any in-game event, and they are outside the range of the random item-drop algorithm). The 1.07 update for the 2018 remaster finally made the Death Dagger, Wizwand, and Stoneblade available as drops.
** Also, Casinos are inexplicably present in the 16-bit versions of ''The Destiny Knight'', even though you are prevented from entering them (they are fully functional in the 8-bit versions).
