   Well, there's at least one in Swedish called Berg ("mountain"). It's
   written by Mats Wiklund and Fredrik Kilander at Stockholm U. You can
   reach them at fk@dsv.su.se.

   There's also another Swedish adventure called "Stugan" ("The Cottage")
   but I'm not sure if that's freeware, shareware or commercial.

"Stugan" is commercial. It is published by Swedish budget software house
SPCS and for all I know it could be out of print. Then still, knowing
SPCS, it probably isn't. Not very good IMHO.

I know of one other PD adventure in Swedish; "Bilbo" by Nils Eng. As the
name implies, it is inspired by Tolkien's works, but not by "The Hobbit"
but "The Lord of the Rings"(!). It isn't very good but quite different.
To my knowledge it doesn't exist on anonymous FTP, but if anyone really
wants it, mail me and I'll send a copy to you.

And before someone asks, I'd better add that it's for PC only and no
source included.
