Egypt 1156 B.C.: Tomb of the Pharaoh
PlayStation · 1999
About this game
A number of games allow you to search the tombs of ancient Egypt, but few allow you to do so IN ancient Egypt.
Taking place (appropriately enough) in 1156 B.C., you play Ramose, a young Egyptian man who hopes to prove himself a worthy investigator for the current rulers of Egypt.

Your first assignment is not an easy one, as a Tomb of Sethi I, a pharaoh has been desecrated and looted and your own father has been accused of the crime.
You have three days to prove his innocence and stay the sentence of execution.
Gameplay takes place in a first person mode similar to fans of this kind of adventure game.
Unlike some games that give you a static, unmoving image to look at, Egypt 1156 B.C. allows you to look around at any location in a smooth turn (similar to QuickTime VR, but with better results).
This gives you a 'you are there' feel that many other games lack.
All graphics are 3-D rendered and occassionally actions will give you a third person cutscene as a reward.
Communication is through a simple branch tree and both talking and puzzle solving involves the manipulation of objects, both in and out of your inventory.
In addition to being a mystery/adventure game, Egypt 1156 B.C. also comes with reference material about ancient Egypt, its people, and its culture.
These are available whenever you discover something interesting in the middle of the game or can be accessed via the main menu.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Egypt 1156 B.C.: Tomb of the Pharaoh for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Egypt 1156 B.C.: Tomb of the Pharaoh to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1999.
