Okay that was really a Pyramid of doom!!! That took, I don't know how many tries, I died so many different ways! That part was great but the 2 days (Hours of attempts) I finally made it through!
Now that was cruel, so many times restarting from Nomads to sweating hands. Keep an eye out for those RNGs they will mess with yah. Haha. All in all it was a blast. Enjoy that struggle!!

Yeah, it's not one of his easiest games! :D

Another treasure quest, with a few nice ideas and a few questionable ones. Feels very tight, but not that well rounded. I spent a lot of time stuck at 76 points until I came across the solution to the Pharaoh's puzzle by accident, since it subverts one of the player's basic expectations in this type of adventures - a nice touch. However, the nomad and glove annoyances don't add anything interesting. Lacks a bit of the Adams' tongue-in-cheek playful touch, but worth playing anyway.

Just finished it. You have to be careful with your glove as it seems they dropped after a number of turns. You have to grab them back or you're dead.
