Nightfall is an American computer game released in 1998 by Altor Systems, Inc.. It is the first real time 3D first person adventure game and is only compatible with Apple computers which use the Mac OS. Essentially, the gameplay is similar to 3D first person action games such as Doom as the world is three dimensional however numerous sprites are used for objects such as vases and rats. Unfortunately, the title dissolved into obscurity with the lack of popularity of the platform and genre as well as the lack of prominent advertising.
[edit] Story
You (the main character) play the role of an archeologist exploring an ancient Egyptian tomb for a wonderful secret. Unfortunately, an earthquake occurs, sealing the entrance with rubble. Rather than waiting to be rescued, you decide to explore the tomb for another exit and the treasure you were searching for.
