I thought I might play a handful of levels of Pharaoh's Tomb before moving on to something else. Surprisingly, the game was more fun than I expected. It had that addictive quality that kept me coming back for more. I finished all 80 levels, 20 levels in each of four episodes (volumes):

1. Raiders of the Lost Tomb

2. Pharaoh’s Curse

3. Temple of Terror

4. Nevada’s Revenge

Clearly inspired by Indiana Jones, the Egyptian tomb was depicted in the classic Red, Green, Brown (Yellow) CGA color palette. The gameplay was good enough to overcome the primitive graphics of a game more than a quarter century old. Now I’m off to play the sequel, Arctic Adventure.
