Atari A to Z (Pete Davison) - 04/07/2022 |
Synapse Software's Pharaoh's Curse proves that you shouldn't let "Level 0" lull you into a false sense of security... and that a 4x4 grid of rooms actually feels a lot bigger than you might think. Also, I wish death upon that flying flappy bastard. Let's Play! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG8duK6QJoA |

Why oploaded front cover, in the logo says "Pharoah's" instead "Pharaoh's"? |
|
Love it. Never played it back in the day but enjoying it now. That's a sign that something is truly good. |

Absolutely one of my favourite games on the Atari. A distinctive look and feel, great sound effects, wonderful atmosphere and frustrating but satisfying "open-world" platforming and adventuring. A game I still play on a regular basis today! |
|
Great game. Hilarious about the spelling error on the front. This was just pointed out in an ebay listing. |
|
Hands down, one of the best games on the 8-bit Atari. I remember going back to this game so many times - the random layouts made it always fresh, and you gotta love the gun shooting mummy and pharaoh! |

Owning and playing over 200-300 games when i was 14 and 15 years old, thanks to my dad, this has to be my favorite Atari 800 game EVER |

jason.

Another Synapse classic, giving you a light shoot 'em up and treasure hunt. Sort of like the Bruce Lee game, which came out a year later and by a different company, taking place in the catacombs. And there's the luck of the draw when the bird drops you off at a screen you've already completed or one you haven't. This usually adds to the time it takes to complete the level. |
