    Hi guys! Do you know of any games with ancient Egyptian aesthetics? Like Lara Croft And The Temple Of Osiris or Aarupolis by Tom Horn? I play the second one because of the slot expert DiceGirl Egle. I also love the game Ankh, the first version is very nostalgic, and the best for me is Ankh 3, Any recommendations for other similar games? I´ll really appreciate that information. Have a nice day! 😉

    Master of the Universe


    Exhumed (also known as Powerslave) is the one that comes to mind immediately, Egyptian themed FPS

    Serious Sam has some kind of Egyptian levels, doesn't it?

    The mummy games are set in Egypt, not sure how well they hold up. Something different but Lemmings 2: the tribes had a good Egypt section of the map.

    Egyptian Run on the Amiga….haha… a real joystick destroyer and PD classic. A test of eye to hand coordination and stressful as hell… spent way too many hrs as teen trying to complete it.

    The Saturn version is way better but it got a night dive remaster which is the one to play.

    Castlevania Portrait of Ruin has an Egypt stage.

    There was a game on the Amstrad Cpc series called Oh Mummy.

    I remember the music more than the game!

    Sandopolis zone in Sonic & Knuckles on megadrive had a great Egyptian aesthetic and a cracking soundtrack!

    Killing Time on the 3DO(and later the PC I think) has a lot of Egyptian stuff going on with it. I enjoyed it when it first came out.
