The Dagger of Amon Ra

Description

The Dagger of Amon Ra is the sequel to Laura's previous adventure, 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.

User Reviews

Excellent detective game set in a museum	B14ck W01f (37398)
Unlike today's games full of guns and unclothed women. This game has what was called substance.	Shawn McDonie (15)	unrated
Brilliant! Over a decade later, it is still a masterpiece!	Aaron Jones (16)
A good old fashioned murder-mystery, with a female protagonist that has more brain than bod.	Digital Arse (14)
Although essentially the same game, Laura Bow seems to have had a personality change	OceansDaughter (105)	unrated

Trivia

What happened to Laura Bow and Steve Dorian after the events in The Dagger of Amon Ra? Apparently, they got married! A note on the bulletin board in Tulane University in Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers informs students about a lecture on "Investigative Reporting techniques" to be held by "octogenarian Pulitzer Price winner Laura Bow Dorian". Octogenarian means: someone in their 80s.
