The Egyptian Prophecy

As for me, I had a surprisingly good time helping Maya struggle to bring all of the events back into the bosom of the benevolent gods. Tight story, excellent puzzles, attractive graphics -- what else could we grouchy adventure game players ask for?

It's very short, and can be beaten in a matter of hours, but at $20, it's an excellent buy as it is inspired, and engaging. [Aug 2004, p.70]

Tried and true adventure game fare with several good puzzles integrated nicely into the story, especially at the end.

A gripping storyline and entertaining puzzles that do not frustrate combine to help create a compelling adventure game.

The visuals are stunning, the history is accurate and the dialogue is good.

There is nothing particularly difficult about completing Maya's quest, but it is one which offers a good variety of conundrums, including some quite original variants on some old standards.

As things stand, unless you go rabid for Egypt or tired old adventure games then I would advise you pass up on this time travelling opportunity.
