The Sands of Egypt is set in the great Sahara Desert in search of the Tomb of Ra. The year is 1893 and your role as the aristocratic British explorer Sir Percy. Life as a great explorer has its excitement of recovering precious gems and gold trinkets but currently you are hopelessly lost in the middle of nothing but sand. You will need to avoid dangerous snakes, cliffs, and find water before dying of thirst.
The TRS80 CoCo version was licenced & published by Tandy/Radio Shack.
