Dagger of Amon Ra:
Sequel released 1991 on #5 (3 1/2" disk) particularly known for its vaguely menacing background art and its humorous depiction of flesh-eating Dermestid beetles. No time like the present to put those dusty floppy drives to work

    Ah, yes, two classic adventures indeed dear Elderly. Cheap as chips too. Also, Colonel's Bequest is still the best who-dunnit adventure game ever...

    Hello.
    I compared the film "Dangerous Adventures Adele" the game "Laura Bow 2 The Dagger of Amon Ra" and realized: the movie copied the game clean sweep!

    In his evidence I cite a lot of screenshots!
