Disk Title: Pharaoh's Tomb & Monuments of Mars!
PC-SIG Version: S3
Program Title: Pharaoh's Tomb
Author Version: 3.0
Author Registration: $10.00 per volume; $25.00 per set.
Special Requirements: CGA.
PHARAOH'S TOMB is an arcade/adventure game, set inside the heart of a
huge Egyptian pyramid. Explore and (possibly) survive 20 uniquely
dangerous levels, riddled with ingenious puzzles and traps. A special
animation system called FAST (Fluid Animation Software Technology)
provides flicker-free movement, even on older PCs.
You start with five lives and a few spears to overcome various dangerous
denizens guarding the pyramid. Moving walls, bats, falling spikes,
mummies, and magic winds are just some of the hazards to overcome. On
each level, collect one or more keys to advance to the next level until,
somewhere on the final level, you discover the prize of your journey.
No two levels have the same animated creature patrolling it, adding to
the variety of the game. Sound effects are also used, but can be
toggled off. The keyboard can be configured to use two alternate sets
of keys. A five player permanent high score table keeps track of the
all-time best explorers. Save the game on any level and restore at any
time.
This is the first of four volumes of Pharaoh's Tomb, subtitled ``Raiders
of the Lost Tomb.'' The other three volumes, available only through
registration, are: ``Pharaoh's Curse,'' ``Temple of Terror,'' and
``Nevada's Revenge!'' The volumes should be played in sequence, since
they continue the story to the final encounter.
Program Title: MONUMENTS of MARS!
Author Version: 4/91
Author Registration: $10 per volume; $25 for set.
Special Requirements: 8086 or better, 350K RAM, and CGA, EGA, or VGA.
Explore a secret underground city on Mars with THE MONUMENTS OF MARS, an
arcade/adventure game set in the near future. In this first volume
(``First Contact''), you will need to survive 20 unique and challenging
levels filled with puzzles, traps, creatures, and useful artifacts.
Great graphics and sound effects make this a compelling and fascinating
story. This is the first game to give you unlimited lives! You will
never see a ``Game Over'' message in THE MONUMENTS OF MARS, since you
simply restart the level whenever you die. Concentrate on solving each
level without the hassle of cons tantly saving and restoring your game.
Other features include save/restore, high score chart, sound on/off and
keyboard configuration.
Because of the extensive animation, it cannot be played on 8088-based
PCs.
This is the first of four volumes of THE MONUMENTS OF MARS, subtitled
``First Contact.'' The other three volumes, available by registration
only, are : ``The Pyramid,'' ``The Fortress,'' and ``The Face.'' The
volumes should be played in sequence, since they continue the story to
a climactic and shocking ending.
