DOS Games Discussion

Hello, i'm trying to fing a Windows old game that i've played in my childhood.

About the game:
-it's 2D side-scrolling game;
-the levels are represented by egyptian symbols at the menu;
-the character is egyptian, or aztec;
-the character can jump and swing ropes;
-he has to dodge things and, or animals;
-i think the character can push boulders;
-there are spikes and other kinds of traps in game

....i think that's all i know, but i will update the post if i recall something else.


Thanks for the help =)[/b]

Around when did you play this? Win 3.x, 95, XP, 7? What's old mean?

Hello mate, and thanks alot for your reply!

I played the game in Win 95. Years between 1997/99 .. but i can't be sure if the game is older

You might try the Google image trick: Go to images.google.com, and search for variations like:

dos platform game egypt
windows platform game egypt
windows platform game aztec

See if any of the screenshots look familiar!

Otherwise I just have guesses like: Pharaoh's Tomb

Hello mate, thanks for the reply

Sad, it is not thoses games you said. The carácter is egyptian, male, black medium hair, dessed in white, and brown skin .. In the menu, to select a level o must click on an egyptian symbol. All in game colours many tunes of yellow.

The boudlers that the character is alowed to push are also yellow. The game is side scrolling , and starts in Point A to go to Point B
I thinl the Point B is or a Túnel, or a Door, or I dont recall at all.


Best regards mate
Thanks for the help

The game menu imagem is similar to this

That game also exists for Windows 95, what I understand.

I found another egypt-theme puzzler, though I'm not sure if the actions are similar, they only show the main menu.

Oh yeah, I know that one, it came on a CD with 100 árcade games.

Still, i'm trying to fing the only game i've player in my childhood, that gave me a hard time, because it was só dificult xD .. I have to keep searching.

Anyway, thanks for the help mate.

I briefly checked the MobyGames list of games with the Ancient Egyptian setting. Here are two titles that somewhat match your description:
