VALLEY OF THE KINGS
MP Software
by Victor Harrison and James Fanton
BBC
Your goal is to get as many artifacts into the tent. 20 points are
awarded for each treasure.
There appear to be several red herrings – the satyr with the pendant,
the clay pot, the cross, the camels. Some objects like the diamond are
needed to leave a location.
Once you find some coins you can buy more batteries. If you wish to save
the coins as a treasure, we suggest you explore each pyramid with the
torch on, but then play the game without lighting the torch. The
walkthrough below presumes the torch is on and you can see things.
There is a limited number of things you can carry, so you may have to go
back and retrieve the objects you could not carry the first time. Try to
collect what you need in two visits.
Periodically you will become thirsty. To conserve water, always DRINK
WATER and FILL FLASK at the valley, but you don't need to drink the
water on your travels until you get the message "you are nearly
dehydrated".
