Heart of Africa

User Description (Haggis):

Electronic Arts' follow-up to The Seven Cities of Gold. This time, you are a single adventurer in search of the hidden tomb of Pharaoh Ahnk Ahnk, tasked by the late Hiram Perkins Primm.

You are given five years to complete your task, $250 in spending money, and passage to Cairo. You begin your mission in January, 1890.

Interactions with the natives are critical. Knowing what to give and how to ask can provide you with clues to the tomb's location as well as valuable items. Major landmarks can be discovered, a variety of maladies can be contracted, and equipment can be lost -- all of which are recorded automatically in your journal.
