Game description:
Pharaoh's Pyramid is a Q*Bert clone.
The basic plot of Pharaoh's Pyramid casts you as Digger Dan, a solitary grave robber who has been dragooned by the restless ghost of Ramses into completing that monarch's last great pyramid. With the help of his old flame Isis, Ramses transports you back to his heyday, where you become Little Achmed - a trusted slave who must run up and down a long pyramidal staircase, dragging bricks back up to the top during each trip. Once you've fetched enough to complete one of the six courses of a pyramid, you've then got to go back and finish turning each of the steps to a target color shown in the lower right corner of the screen. Once that's over, you face a challenge from Isis' jealous mate Osiris which, if successfully met, will raise you a level and bring you closer to the goal of completing the whole pyramid and winning Ramses' treasure.
What I think:
Very unique and interesting clone\game, but also quite fun ... and quite long.
