Play: 9/10 Clever, fun, exciting Adams adventure with a desert/pyramid theme. I personally like desert/pyramid vibes, so this is one of my faves. I like that the hieroglyphics tell you where the treasure room is. And gotta love the command Get pistol finally showing up. Oh, and going across the narrow ledge was well-written and well-done.

Feel: 9/10 Like I mentioned, I love the desert setting. And lol "small nomad." Oh, and loved the return of 100/100 treasures again. The rng factors seemed fair and well-balanced, making for a fun quick playthrough one afternoon.

Attachment: 8/10 More likely than not, I will be replaying this whenever I go through early text adventures again. Not that I was moved by the game or something, but it had a nice feel to it and was fun the whole way through.
