A text adventure game set in the Egyptian desert. Your objective is to find tombs, search rooms and collect treasure.

On your journeys, you will come across the normal useful articles which you can pick up in case they come in handy later on. You will also encounter some nasty situations and foes.

The cassette inlay card is quite helpful, given that it mustn't give away too much about the adventure to come.

Apparently, there are more than 100 rooms to explore, once you have got inside the tombs.

This seemed quite a good game, although there were the usual limitations of the computer not understanding input.

For example, on coming to a door, "OPEN" prompted the reply "No key" which is fair enough. But "BREAK DOOR", "EXAMINE DOOR" and the like gave the response "Can't see it".

If you like text adventures, then this is worth considering. Its days must be numbered, though, with the increase in adventures that allow you to switch between text or graphics as you wish.
