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.

Trivia

Both the CD and the disk version of Dagger of Amon Ra feature a digitized song, a cheeky one-minute ditty in Charleston style called Archaeologist Song. It is one of three pieces that play in the seedy Harlem speakeasy in Act 1, and is repeated in the ending credits.

The tune was composed by Chris Braymen, who also plays the trombone in the song. The other performers are Sierra’s sound designers Dan Kehler (bass) and Mark Seibert (guitar); the singer is Susan Kehler. The Dagger of Amon Ra’s producer/designer Bruce Balfour contributed the lyrics. They go as follows (transcript by Danelope):

The Archaeologist Song

I want to marry an archaeologist
And keep his artifacts warm
I'd travel with him through jungles and deserts
And weather out every storm
If he wants me to, I'll burrow and dig
On burials small and castles big
Oh, I want to marry an archaeologist
What a marvelous gig

Mummy would love him and Daddy too
We'd be famous and well-to-do

Oh, I want to marry an archaeologist
Then I could boop-e-doo, swahoo
I could boop-e-doo, ooh
We'd play peek-a-boo
