In which I play a couple games of "Pharoah's Curse", written by Steve Coleman and published by Synapse Software in 1983. It's a collect objects, find your way around the catacombs, avoid traps, and fight baddies sort of game. This game looks very nice, and the sound effects are decent enough. Unfortunately, the player has very little control over whether they can, for example, shoot a monster or avoid a trap. It's too random, and as a result it feels very cheap. Not the sort of thing I would tend to go back to, I'm afraid.
