Games with egyptian aesthetics?

Anne97

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! 😉

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.

"Exhumed" on the PlayStation 1 is heavy one the egyptian'ness…ah, already mentioned!

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.

Lemming

Oops, never mind

Anyone remember Scarab? My brother and I were obsessed with it when it came free with our first pc and didnt know any better:

Can't believe no-one has mentioned Total Eclipse. I spent hours trying to beat this on Amstrad back in the day. Maybe the green monochrome made it harder🤨🤔

Pharaoh Rebirth+ is a good Metroidvania. The dev team also made a freeware game called return to Egypt that was popular in the early 2000s. It's a Metroidvania set in Egypt. Hard to find now as what most places distribute is a very short alpha version.

Didn't Columns on the Mega Drive have some kind of Egyptian theme/background?

Oh Mummy on the 8bit systems - I think I remember typing in code for a game that was quite simlar

Playing these in VR is as close as you can get to being in an Egyptian temple....blasting aliens of course

Killed until Dead is the one other game.

More of an adventure game than arcade.

Count Duckula in No Sax, Please: We're Egyptian!

SuperBowserWorld

Assassin's Creed Origins if it does not need to be a retro game, but that came out years ago so maybe it is retro 😁 ? Anyway 100% Egyptian and a beautiful looking game, if you want a real Egyptian fix including climbing and sliding down the pyramids.

Mario 64, Pyramid Level
