Description
Innuh's Pyramid

Somewhere in the desert lies the great pyramid of Innuh. Ancient legends say it is full of treasures, but no man who has tried to unravel its secret has ever come back to tell the tale. Your goal is to carry away all the treasures the pyramid hides. Good luck, you will need it .

This is a text-based adventure-game. There are as many as 24 places you can explore. The computer has a vocabulary of some seventy words including verbs and nouns. New and more insidious dangers stand between you and your goal, the difficulties you encounter are far from easy to overcome, and this will be a challenge to your logic.


Author's Notes
Originally on TI99/4A by Aristide Torrelli (MCmicrocomputer 33, sett. 1984). ZX Spectrum version by Manlio Severi, (MCmicrocomputer 35, nov. 1984). C language transcription, improvements and English translation by Davide Bucci.

Remarkably enough, in the original version of the game, the name of the pyramid is Iunnuh, and not Innuh. As you surely know, hieroglyphs do not use vocals, the second variant comes from a different transliteration of the pharaoh's cartouche found in the pyramid (more seriously, I mis-read the title of the game and I did not realise for 25 years!)

This game is a text adventure. You should play it by giving simple orders to your alter-ego in the game. Explore the situations and beware to the risks!

The Innuh's pyramid was built three thousand years ago, somewhere in the desert. Ancient tales say it is full of treasures, but nobody who dared to try to reveal its secrets could come back to tell his adventure.

I'll be your eyes and ears. Your goal is to find all the treasures hidden in the pyramid.

Good luck, you'll need it!

Solution by FredB74 (translated from the Italian version)

(This game is a typical treasure hunt: you have to find and take all the five treasures in the pyramid and drop them by the writing in the desert. In Italy this game is quite famous, and appreciated, because it's one of the first Italian text adventures in history, originally written for the TI99/A).
