I suspect I had fudged some before that, to have a reserve copy of the Dust available to use for both! I played through that game several ways, and decided to cheat against the Beholders. At least, that at least seems probable. Thirty one years ago, before even Windows 3 came along, with an 80286, most likely, an 80386 only possibly, my memory used to be good, then I turned my back for a little bit, and decades of years piled up!
Actually, the worst was that demon encounter at the bottom of a dungeon (temple? prison?) in Aleshar: World of Ice. I think it was supposed to be merely a finale of chapter 1 or something. You couldn't save in a dungeon and the beast killed you near instantly. The only time I managed to defeat him, I keeled over with stress, bloodloss, heart attack or w/e after making a couple of steps. So, no further Aleshar for me
It was indeed the end of chapter 1 (and probably of shareware part). Let me tell you, when you kill that demon, your problems are only beginning. The next dungeon is a nightmare, pure and simple. You have a four levels, you can save only on the stairs, there are a trolls everywhere, you need to kill a boss and return back. After many years I finished it, but was close to drop it many times.Actually, the worst was that demon encounter at the bottom of a dungeon (temple? prison?) in Aleshar: World of Ice.

Do you talk about the end of Natuk and the Pool of Radiance or just unlucky mind control on your own party member?
By pressing Alt-PrtSc (or just PrtSc, depends on the running game in the fullscreen), of course and pressing Shift-Insert in the Paint or some other graphic editor. If some keys are overwritten by a DosBox itself, you can manage them by pressing Ctrl-F1.
