This is the full version. To play ep2 you just type ptomb2.exe. Ep3 is ptomb3.exe. Ep4 is ptomb4.exe.

And let me tell you, I beat ep2, but the levels in ep3 and 4 are diabolically difficult (read "suck"). I gave up half way through ep3, tried a few levels of ep 4 and decided it wasn't worth it. Unless someone shows me a screenshot of some boss at the end of the game that I'm missing out on or some gameplay dynamic that they haven't revealed yet I'm done with this game.

Are any of you fans of Kevin Smiths movies??
Have any one seen Clerks the animated series from 2000?? In there Randal Graves talks about a game very similar to this game in name and gameplay??
Is it the same Game?

That's very interesting, because I found the second episode the hardest. The third was quite a bit easier and the fourth was a walk in the park.

yeeaaah! I've been looking for this all my life! Me and my sister used to play it when we were really young, but we called it 'ptomb', after the file name, I never knew the name and didn't know where to look. Thank you!

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.

Question

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.

The difference in 'colors' can come from the monitor or old graphics card that you had then.

Question

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?
