Egypt 1156 B.C.: Tomb of the Pharaoh

Egypt 1156 B.C.: Tomb of the Pharaoh is a 3D adventure game developed and published by Cryo Interactive Entertainment, set in ancient Egypt and casting the player as Ramose, a young man attempting to clear his father’s name after an accusation of tomb robbery. The game blends puzzle solving with detailed period setting, and was published in some PAL territories under co-publishing arrangements with Canal+ Multimedia.

The PAL landscape comprises four catalogued variants spanning France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK, with the earliest PAL release dated 10 September 1999. Most pressings are dedicated per-territory localisations, with a single multi-territory grouping covering Spain, Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK on a shared disc.

All four variants ship in Full Jewel PAL cases as single-disc Original releases. The mix of dedicated and shared pressings reflects Cryo’s commercial reality, where larger markets justified individual localisation while smaller territories were grouped to make distribution viable. A worthwhile pickup for adventure-genre collectors.
