Another "trying to find an game" thread..
Sorry if anyone finds these threads annoying, this is a long shot but I'm hoping someone can help.. I've been trying to track this game down for more years than I can care to admit! There's not much to go on I'm afraid..
If I remember correctly, the graphics were mostly black/brown/red it was an Arabian/Persian themed sidescrolling (just left to right, don't remember ever backtracking) game where you just had to get as far as you could avoiding obstacles. You may have been able to pick different people (or maybe different weapons) before you started. It wasn't fast paced but I don't really know what to compare it to. Anyone got any ideas? I remember loving playing it but then having to return it to the library or something.. for whatever reason, it's stuck with me over the years.
I guess there's a possibility that it was for the C64 (I had both at the time) but I went through the screenshots of every game on Lemon64 a year or two ago and couldn't find it. I figured I'd ask here before I go through all the screenshots on worldofspectrum!
I must say, just browsing this website and forum has been a blast - brought back many memories of playing Trapdoor and simpler days!

Okay, getting a very good feeling about this, I thought it might be by Firebird but my google-fu always failed me.. time to dig out an emulator and hope for the best.
It's one of my top 10 fave Speccy games.
You're kinda right ;-)
It was re-released by Firebird as Mystery of the Nile.
As you can see here.
[gangsta]Yo yo!
It's kinda surreal when he's sensible....yo! [/end gangsta]
Yup, that'll be them.
Yes, thats is most likely :)
