King's Bounty improvements

[Zare]

The problem is with Compendium release and my machine. It hangs it in the same way.
I will try to see what is different between these versions.

Attached is the version that works for me (in CGA mode)

^ This version has a lot smaller binary and smaller resource files

Thanks for providing the 1995 version yevrowl, it doesn't seem to work either.

When games in my archive were sourced from various abandonware dumps and torrents, I found it hard running KB on my computer. It hang. But eventually I found one that is working. So this is not a tied issue but unfortunately I will have to take care of it before I can do any testing obviously :|

I'll get back when I find a way to run these releases.
