ZX Spectrum - New Game - Page and the Curse of the Pharaoh

 My second outing with AGD and continuing on from my last game, may I present... 'Page and the Curse of the Pharaoh'

After battling his way through the castle in his last adventure Page finally found a way out only to find an evil Pharaoh had awoken after centuries of sleep.  The Pharaoh's tomb had long since been pillaged so he commanded Page to return to him all his treasure on penalty of death and placed a curse on our poor adventurer. Page's only hope is to find a rumoured portal which will not only free him of his curse but also send him far away from these troubled lands.

Page has decided to make a run for it so help him find a way past the evil Pharaoh and his nasty minions and look for the 'Exit' portal. There are 30 levels to get through and grab as much treasure as you can on the way.  Keys open secret doors and there are strange powerful amulets scattered throughout the land which are rumoured to give him extra lives...

Keys are QAOP to move and SPACE to jump

The Story

An alien spaceship has crashed into the castle and scattered the treasure all around the castle and beyond. It's our hero's job to collect as much of the hoard as possible before finding his way out. Beyond the castle lies an unfriendly Jungle, maybe he can find safety in the caves which lie beyond... but don't go too deep, there are tales of terrible things lurking deep below ground!

Guide our hero through 30 levels picking up objects along the way, if you miss one you can come back later. There are a few powerful amulets scattered around which can restore a life, but be careful not to waste a life trying to recover one!

 Controls

This game was created using Johathan Cauldwell’s brilliant Arcade Game Creator (V4.5 and V4.6). 

I followed the tutorials provided by Paul Jenkinson which were also brilliant.  In fact the first 2 levels may be a little reminiscent of Paul’s levels in the tutorial… This is an intentional homage.

Thanks to my children Luke Pagett (12) and Ethan Pagett (8) for you help, you are both the next generation of Spectrum users and your enthusiasm and encouragement helped see this project through.
