The Dagger of Amon Ra

Great game. Excellent humour and drama - all in once. The talkie version adds a new factor to the atmosphere.

This was my favorite game growing up. It had so many good lines and funny character voices. I love the hangry cop in the station ("I've been on me dogs all day and I haven't had a bite to eat" ... then later, "A roast beef sandwich! Now what was it you were wantin' to ask me about lassie?") and the lounging lady in the speakeasy bathroom (if you use the Hand tool on her she says several different things, one of them "ooh, touch me again!" or something like that). It is frustrating to lose the game because you didn't get to pick up something stupid, like grapes, or if you leave the city and go to the museum before talking to enough people (then you miss out on clues they might tell you and you can't fill them into the notebook later).

Oh man, this game gave me nightmares as a kid. It probably still will when I play it again! I did enjoy this back in the day, love solving stuff.

Was watching Lazy Game Reviews and wanted to see what this was about. Thanks! :)
