No wonder it's kinda the same as Pharao's Tomb:

Almost all the platformers from that era had similar layout/gameplay.

Is it just me

Or does this game closely resemble Montezuma's Revenge?

I wonder if it was a clone, or was Monte a clone of something else. Mmmm, deep question. Perhaps we'll never know :weird: :laugh:

Found it!

AHA! I found the game my sister was thinking of! (I actually found it quite by accident) It's called "Arctic Adventure". Pretty much the same deal as Pharaoh's Tomb... I found it at www.dosgames.com
Ahh...now that I see it, it's all coming back to me...

dosraider Questions questions questions .... pffffffffffffffffffffff.

Another version? Who knows.

Akira But our Monuments of Mars game (made with the same platform and graphics) has the same colors as this version, with the red, green, black, and orange... What would make Pharaoh's Tomb different?
22-08-2008 05:30 AM
dosraider The difference in 'colors' can come from the monitor or old graphics card that you had then.

Akira Awesome, thanks! :laugh:

My sister says that she remembers this game (or a game very similar to it), but the colors were different: cyan, magenta, white and black. Is there a different version of this game with those colors? She says she remembers you bing a man in a hat--looking exactly like your character in Pharaoh's Tomb. She also remembers rolling boulders and some sections where the ground is ice and you slide on it. The screen layout (with the stats at the bottom of the screen) and the sound effects are exactly like she remembers, but she's positive about the different colors. I only remember it vaguely, but I do recognize the masked enemies (the heads with legs) from the screenshots.

Anyone have any ideas? Maybe a similar game? I'll post/edit this post if my sister or I remember anything else.

HotU has it.

The Fifth Horseman Monuments of Mars has been discontinued by Apogee.
I believe the shareware version is floating somewhere around, and perhaps could get the full one too.
