Challenge of the Ancient Empires (1991, MS-DOS) - 1 of 5: Near East [720p]
156This game.
This game, together with Museum Madness, was my childhood (at least during the primary school years)
Remember, this was during the mid-90s, before the days of Windows 98, before the WWW taking off and before the whole Nokia 3210-series and its Snake games taking over the world. So kids back then had very limited gaming options and use for computers. It would have been hard to envision how kids back in those days lived through the anxiety of waiting for the "computers" class just to play this game (more than waiting for lunch break!)

The objective of this game is fairly simple - you have to make your way through the puzzle caverns and find 6 pieces of "artifacts" scattered throughout the map. Once you have done that you will have to piece together the artifacts themselves which will then give a brief summary of what it is.
Then you'll have to find the exit, solve the final logic puzzle to proceed.
You're also equipped with 3 items you can use anytime during the game:
Jump Boots : makes you jump higher
Light ray : Shoots a short ray of light forwards - if it hits any enemies it will paralyse them for 5 seconds. If it hits a prism then it will bounce off it according to the laws of trignometry.
Forcefields: 5 seconds of total invincibility - can only be used 4 times per cavern
