Trivia

A hex-edited, X-rated copy of the MS-DOS version of this game circulated underground under the name "Cuntlet 2". As well as an explicit title screen (liberating the the valkyrie of her constrictive loincloth) enemy sprites were changed (to predictably "hilarious" things like bums, dildos, and of course the Death Penis) and "IT" (the communicable monster-attractor) was tastefully renamed "AIDS." Instead of leaving behind a key ring upon character death, instead in your wake is left a wet puddle on the sheets.

Finally, the pedestrian Barbarian, Elf, Valkyrie, and Wizard found themselves renamed Adonis the Love God, Queer the Fag, Venus the Whore, and Moon Beam the Hippy, respectively.
