Hi!

It has been many years since I played through this game and I recently got the urge to do so. Upon entering the third area of the game I encountered rooms with, what seems like, never-ending spawn of enemies. In this case its snakes. I do not remember this being the case and that you could always clear each room of enemies. Am I remembering things wrong or have I encountered a bug/glitch?

While this game has its fair share of bugs, this is not one of them. That is, there are definitely rooms featuring respawning enemies that the player will encounter during the early stages of the game. My guess is that they are there to provide additional opportunities to level up for the basic methods of combat.
