This space available for immediate occupancy.

The darkness of ancient Egypt and evil alien forces, possessing horrifying powers, have taken possession of the ancient city of Karnak. And these landlords are exacting extremely high rents. Like an arm and a leg... or worse.

Airdropped into first person landscapes, you must swim, crawl and otherwise run like hell through 20-plus levels of gameplay. Real time, fully 3-D rendered environments allow you complete 360° freedom of gameplay. With just a machete to begin with, search for 7 other weapons like hand grenades, a flame thrower, an M60 machine gun and a magical cobra staff. Dynamic lighting allows for stunning visual effects. Cross bridges, crawl through tunnels and swim through underwater grottos. Your only salvation is the guiding Spirit of the Great Pharaoh Ramses. He's the only one in this god-forsaken neighborhood who wants to help you get a forwarding address.

So welcome to the nightmare of Ramses' tomb. And enjoy your stay. It may last forever.

Hey, tough guy, fancy saving the world for a change?

The ancient Egyptian city of Karnak has been seized by an unknown power and great turmoil is spreading throughout the land. Many have entered the valley of Karnak in an attempt to discover the source of the evil, but none have returned.

So, the future of our planet is in your hands. Explore the area and find out what on Earth is going on. Be warned: the presence of this mysterious force has resurrected hundreds of exceedingly bloodthirsty creatures, all intent on claiming your soul for themselves. Don't take any chances - or any shit: make use of any weapons and ammunition left behind by previous (unsuccessful) visitors and kill anything that moves.

That is all...
