Trying to remember the name of a boardgame

    This should be easy as I can remember so much about it, bar the actual damn name!

    It was based on ancient Egypt. The game was set on a raised platform with a load of snakes underneath. From memory I think it may have meant to look like inside of a pyramid with a snake pit under it.

    There were trapdoors around the board. Under the board was a cardboard wheel with holes in it. Sometimes you'd land on a trapdoor and have to spin the wheel. If a hole appeared it would send you down into the snakes.

    There was also a golden coiled snake..before I thought that was the player, but now I remember it was actually at the centre and you had to try and get it and make your way back.

    I haven't seen this game (or even thought about it!) in about 15 years. It just popped back into my head.

    Any ideas?

    That sounds like Treasures and Trapdoors

    That was Atmosfear.

    Although the video had to play constantly.

    You can get a DVD version of it now.
