Computer Game Review: Egypt 1156 B.C
http://www.adventuregamers.com/article/id,533/
This is a detailed review of an "edutainment" computer game called Egypt 1156 B.C.: Tomb of the Pharaoh, posted yesterday on the Adventur Gamers website: "In this game, the head of the Madji (think ancient Egyptian police force) asks you, Ramose, to help him find those responsible for a break-in of one of the Pharaoh's tombs. However, you have another reason besides being a perennial do-gooder to help. In fact, it appears that your father is the prime suspect, and you have just three days, before a major religious festival starts, to prove your father's innocence. What follows is pretty straightforward stuff. You need to find the burglar and bring him to justice". See the full review for details of the pros and cons of the game.
