In the mood for Pharaoh and Cleopatra, Lost CD
« on: May 17, 2013, 05:32:27 pm »
Anyone hear remember Pharaoh? It was a city building game based on ancient Egypt. I first played it at my grandparents' house and loved it. Grandpa even copied the disk for me so I could play it at home. Said disk is nowhere to be found. Anything I can do? Is there anywhere online I can download it in one piece?

We're Bay12er's. If there is a bug, we will find it, exploit it, and make a recursive statue out of it. Just look up Planepacked.

Other than suggesting to use Google, no other response is allowed on this forum, although such a search would probably solve your problem.

We're allowed to tell him to go to GoG!

I had the same issue a while ago. I was all "I already own this game! I don't want to buy it AGAIN!"

Then I realized my copy was from Syria, and so I had probably never contributed money to the developers.

So you should probably get it from GoG.

EDIT: Even if you do find your own disc, the GoG version will work better on your modern PC.

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?

I've played these games to death.
Best of the series.

Loved building the big monuments. It was so sad that the "sequels" focused less on big monuments.

What I meant to say was that discussion of abandonware isn't allowed, although it exists and can be found via most search engines.  Of course GoG is allowed, as is Amazon, Ebay, and other sellers.

That was what i liked least about Pharoah. Later in the game there were monuments that (at least on my computer) took dozens of hours to build. I remember going afk for years of gameplay at at time, only coming back for the annual festivals that popped up on the screen and auto-paused the game.

That was about when I stopped playing. Good concept, nice gameplay update compared to its predecessor, Caesar, but the monuments were completely unreasonable. 2 hours to do everything you need to do in a level to survive and get an economy and military settled...20 hours of waiting for the monument to finish building. No thanks.
