any chance you remember who developed it. Or you could just try developers that did P&C adventures in the 90's.

The game im after is a Point and Click adventure game for the PC released in the 90s, it takes place in ancient Egypt, and thats just about everything i remember :S, i remember having so damn much fun playing through it over and over again and i would love to be able to do so again.

If its any help i remember a part of the game where you find a corpse in a house and i think your getting the blame for it, but not sure, i remember the corpse though.

I've searched through Google with no luck what-so-ever :/




Any help is appriciated! :D

I don't suppose this could be what you're looking for? It does feature your father being accused of pillaging a tomb ( as you said, finding a corpse).

I believe it was 1999?

I have a different one I'd like help finding.

A PC point and click game that took place in greek myhology, with realistic looking people. It required a knoledge of greek mythology to use, as the obstacles actually yielded as they would in the myths (You had to bun he Hyras heads, there were quizzes, etc. Anyone know it?
Possibly Rygar [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/review/R45827.html]?

Rygar (both the NES and the PS2 version) are side-scrolling 2D action games with a few adventure/RPG elements as far as I can remember - along the lines of the very first Zelda games. I don't think they were ever released for the PC.
