The Dagger of Amon Ra

Description

Sequel to The Colonel's Bequest. Laura Bow, fresh out of college, is hired by a New York newspaper and told to investigate a museum theft. The item is a priceless ancient Egyptian artifact, and possible suspects prove plentiful. During a party to celebrate the opening of the museum's new section, someone is murdered and Laura, after asking to be allowed to investigate, is locked in. This sets the stage for a series of murders, much in the same vein as the original game.

Excellent detective game set in a museum	DOS	Black Wolf (37232)
Unlike today's games full of guns and unclothed women. This game has what was called substance.	DOS	Shawn McDonie (20)
Brilliant! Over a decade later, it is still a masterpiece!	DOS	Aaron Jones (16)

Although essentially the same game, Laura Bow seems to have had a personality change	DOS	OceansDaughter (105)
