Pharaoh's Tomb is a platform game written for MS-DOS, published by Apogee Software (now 3D Realms). You play the role of Nevada Smith, an archaeologist and adventurer who is exploring an Egyptian pyramid.
Pharaoh's Tomb was distributed as shareware. It consists of four episodes, with only the first episode distributed as shareware, and the rest available commercially. Each level consists of a single room, and there are 20 levels in each episode. The episodes are:
- Raiders of the Lost Tomb
- Pharaoh's Curse
- Temple of Terror
- Nevada's Revenge
Notoriously, objects' positions are determined by their bounding volumes, not their exact positions on screen.
A sequel, its gameplay much the same, is known as Arctic Adventure. Pharaoh's Tomb was discontinued on March 2, 2000, and is no longer sold by Apogee.
