Romero > Here are the Fontrix-produced instructions, just like Subnodule. Love the newly-minted and never-again-used catchphrase: DO IT RIGHT! LOL.
Romero > Here's a JPG for you to mull over... This is the cover to the ziploc-baggie version that I sold while I worked at The Software Centre in Salt Lake City. The instructions and 5.25" disk were included. The copyright date is 1986, the year I was selling it in stores. The game was written a full year earlier but I didn't think I'd sell so many copies if it looked a year old. That bit of tomfoolery got an extra 5 copies sold!
Romero > When you boot the disk this is the menu/shell you get to navigate the contents from. Don't press 'H' for help - it's just a picture. Thank you.
Romero > Second page of in-game ANIMATED instructions. Oh so innovative.
Romero > Here are the in-game instructions.
Romero > Welcome to level 1! Basic rules: walk over the jewels to pick them up and avoid or burn the cobra. If the cobra touches you, you scream and flip around with blood pumping out of your stomach.
Romero > Here's my title screen! I think I drew the name of the game with line skipping because I was inspired by Nasir's "Phantoms Five" game's look. Or something. The main character, Mike, runs through the little title maze there and repeats ad nauseum. God that noise got irritating!
Romero > This is a title screen that I created two years after I finished the game so it was UpTime "branded". Originally there weren't graphics on this screen, just the question at the bottom of a blank screen.
Romero > 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.)
Here are the Fontrix-produced instructions, just like Subnodule.

Love the newly-minted and never-again-used catchphrase: DO IT RIGHT!

LOL.
