I wanted to make a big maze game with lots of levels ala Lode Runner so I created this crazy thing in Jan-Feb 1985. It was eventually published on UpTime Disk Monthly in 1987. I actually made a PC and Commodore 64 version of this game! The PC version was published but the C64 version never made it (I didn't finish polishing it) and the disk has crumbled into plastic particles (not really, I just lost it).
Pyramids of Egypt was published on UpTime Disk Monthly in 1987. This is the front cover of the packaging material within which was the Apple II 5.25 floppy disk.
DEADLY DEALINGS ON THE NILE!
Somehow the Nile river figures into the game now....even though it's all just mazes and cobras. And a stomach-bleeding main character named Mike (named after my first son Michael. Just kidding, Michael was born 3 years after I wrote this game.)
