Synopsis
In the ancient days of the mythological underworld the dwarves held the Nine Treasures, now all lost. Help Barsak recover the treasures of his ancestors from the underworld of mythology.
Notes
At least one printing of the cassette label contradicts the inlay; spelling 'Barsak' as 'Barsac'.
Originally a text-only game; in 1985 the authors released a version with Illustrator graphics (presumably for the Spectrum).
An unofficial conversion of the ZX Spectrum version is available for Atari 400/800; ported by devwebcl in 2007.

Standard Quill-powered treasure hunt. Correct, but not exciting. Has a single unfair puzzle where there's a need for a password but no indication this is expected. Tricky at the start where you have to find food and drink within a number of moves - the food is easy to find, the drink much less so.
