Pharaoh's Tomb  Apogee (Micro FX Software)1990 archeologistprotagonist download egyptian-theme instantdeath licensechange lives nofalldamage platformer score uvl-techlimitation Pharaoh's Tomb is an arcade-adventure game set in a huge Egyptian pyramid. Explore 20 uniquely-dangerous levels riddled with ingenious puzzles and traps. You start with five lives and a few spears, which can he thrown at offending denizens that patrol the pyramid. Pharaoh's Tomb consists of four unique volumes, which concludes with "Nevada's Revenge."
[3D Realms.com]***Released as freeware in March 2009.***Nevada Smith has discovered artifacts that lead to a genuine lost tomb of an Egyptian pharaoh. Nevada Smith is tired of being a professor's assistant and like Dr. Henry Jones Jr., thinks he can find fortune and glory in archeology. But his boss, who is technically a real archaeologist, thinks he can loot the tomb as a retirement fund. Smith races to get inside the pyramid first, but he's trapped. In run'n'jump style, he must avoid pits, spikes, traps, and the pharaoh's breath while finding keys and collecting the artifacts for the museum. Also, the previous residents are still about and quite lively; bats, mummies and other monsters abound. Not quite defenseless, Smith can toss spears he happens to find but he lacks the skill to use them in hand-to-hand combat (a real archaeologist could figure it out)

The game is divided into four episodes:
[list]
[*]Nevada Smith and the Raiders of the Lost Tomb
[*]Nevada Smith and the Pharaoh's Curse
[*]Nevada Smith and the Temple of Terror
[*]Nevada's Revenge
[/list]

The first episode was distributed as shareware and the remaining episodes came with the shareware version. It runs amazing well on very ancient hardware and uses CGA graphics for increased legacy compatibility. Apogee discontinued sales of this game in 2000.

The real name of the publishing company is Micro F/X Software, but the forward slash is used to denote multiple companies on UVL. Hence, the entry would appear as publish by "Micro F" and "X Software". Percent codes and ampersand codes both fail to work around this limitation.

Classic Jumpman Ingenieurbüro FRANKE2001 color-2bit color-4bit color-8bit display-320x200 display-cga display-ega display-vga download free keyboard license-proprietary lives platformer score spu-pcspeaker spu-sb Years ago there was a game called Jumpman running from a floppy boot disk for the IBM PC with 8088 at 4.77 MHz. Unfortunately this game was implemented in a way that makes it unplayable even with an 80286 at 6 MHz.

The actual game Classic Jumpman is mostly equivalent with the optic, sound, and course of the play of the original. However, it runs on any PC using DOS. If there is a Soundblaster compatible sound card installed, it will be detected and used for sounds and music.
