Roguelike game where you need to retrieve an orb back from the dungeon

Question

I'm looking for a roguelike game I remember from my childhood, running on Apple's Macintosh Plus machine.

Details I remember:

  • It was a top-down view game with a deep dungeon you would explore, and you were able to develop your characters with spells / abilities - in short, a roguelike.
  • Its graphics used actual images, it was not ASCII-based GUI.
  • I don't recall if it had any 'save' feature or if death was permanent, and I don't remember if the levels were randomized.
  • The ultimate goal was to find some "orb" and bring it back to the surface.
  • Upon victory (and it wasn't easy), there was a picture of happy townspeople cheering, or something similar.
  • The only monsters that I remember were dragons and "ice balls", which looked really similar to the orb you were supposed to retrieve.
  • Some levels had boulders you could push around, and one of the later levels had some weird floorplan with lots of these boulders.

I guess the game is from circa 1987, and it was possibly monochrome (or was just displayed as monochrome on the macintosh's display).

Answer

I think it's this one :-)
