    never even heard of this...
    - from the screenshot the graphics/playing arena looks 'familiar'. not specifically but reminiscent of a lot of other adventure type games of that genre.

    I remember this one looking good in places but it hadn't been thought out right. It was a chore to search and explore as well as being derivative and I don't think it deserves a revival.

    No, and if it's anything like the first 2 games I don't want to either :D

    I bought it when it first came out and thought it was a big disappointment. The graphics are quite pretty in places, and the guide itself is well done. However, the actual game seemed like a total afterthought. It's basically just a tedious collect-em-up and a poor sequel to a couple of excellent early shoot 'em ups in The Pyramid and Doomsday Castle.

    I hired it back in the day, but only played it for about twenty minutes. Absolute rubbish, lol. The Pyramid is quite good, but this is a completely different type of game.
