"Deep in the underground catacombs are huge, gleaming treasure boxes that seem to be just waiting for a new owner. However, beware: It is said that they are busy with the magic of the great Zambalo, which is full of diamonds, goblets and pearls. It is certainly not good-natured magic!

The legends also tell that deep in the dark corridors and caves are slumbering even more valuable treasure chests with an unspeakably precious treasure ...

By some weird coincidence, I uploaded this on the 23/11/15 as my 2323rd upload :O (wasn't quite 23:23 on my GMT clock, though.)

Anyway this is a challenging Spelunker/Pitfall II-esque exploration game, though it has spots where you can get indefinitely trapped. WinVice and save-states recommended. One day I'll do a longplay as this looks worth it...
