Notes: The game comes on one 5 1/4" disk for Atari 400/800 and
includes a fold-out instruction sheet (2 pages) are all that's
included (unless you count another brochure to get your own
software published).
Package blurb: The Sands of Egypt is an action adventure starring you in the
role of Lord Charles Buckingham III, the world-famous British
explorer. Attacked by nomads while on an archeology (sic)
expedition to Egypt, Lord Charles was knocked unconscious and
is now hopelessly lost in the fabled land of the Pharaohs. As
the drama unfolds, we find him wandering in the wilderness
alone. He carries nothing but a compass, his courage, and his
wits.
As the star, you'll encounter the blistering heat of the
barren sands and experience the ecstasy of a desert oasis.
Take a rest under the shade of a date palm and enjoy the
elixir of life: Water. Continuing the search, you'll risk all
to find the secret treasure concealed within the lost
pyramid.
