Pharoah's Tomb

Published in Home Computing Weekly #18

When first loaded,this looks like an attractive adventure game with good clear instructions. Graphics are impressive, with pictures in the to half of the screen and scrolling text iin the lower half, a la Hobbit.

The aim of the game is to enter the tomb and collect the treasure from various locations, using the implements you may find there.

But there's only one creepy that I could find, and the treasure and objects were always in the same place. The problems that confront you are pretty easy to solve.

So, once you've been right the way through the game there are no surprises left. To make things worse, being written in Basic, it reacts very slowly. On the other hand, it is moderately priced.
