Found some time and played again. With some preparations, I've completed the game in 1 hour 27 minutes.
(Character: Michael Level: Nightmare). Does anyone want to try to improve this record?
Just to remind what is "Nightmare" level: a special setting available through hex-code cheaing where monsters are somewhat thinner but extremely rapid (at least, in disk version). Use the hex-editor, find the byte with the address 00000253 and set it to the value 38x ("8" character) (this also affects other settings). Then load the game and check the settings. If you see "Monsters are: Main menu" you're in the nightmare.
I can describe the way you can pass the game quickly, as well as my usual way to complete the game which is somewhat redundant but safe. However, the forum is not a proper place for this, because after a few months it becomes hard to find the useful information you've seen here. A site where such manual could be saved and become easily available would be useful.
I could also provide some more specialized information, like hex-editing items. However, this technique is not easy to describe, so don't ask me to post it here.
