I have it for PC!  I got it some years ago from IBM, but I'm not
sure if it's still available.

In fact, you can play in either competitive mode or cooperative mode
(or the obvious one-player mode).

It was a little more specific than that.  You had to get a bunch of
Great Treasures (four, if memory serves me correctly), and then you
had to get Zyll's Black Orb.  Zyll, I think, had stolen these
treasures from a bunch of people, and so you had to defeat him (by
getting the Black Orb) and get the treasures (to restore them to these
people).
