Note: Mods, if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it.:)

If any of you out there are looking for an adventure game that is like an Indiana Jones style adventure, I totally suggest Riddle of the Sphinx! It is a game by Viva media that features some of the treasures from the Indy movies in it. You wander through Egyptian tombs and find artifacts. There is trouble when trying to install it though. You need to get an installer fix from viva. But, yeah. Totally Indiana Jones style game!:whip: I recomend it to any Indyfan!

Was this a platformer for either the Gamecube or Xbox? I think that I remember reading about this game, but it's been a few years and my memory is hazy.

It was a PC only game. Kinda like an Indiana Jones Egyptian style Myst.

I have it and the sequel, The Omega Stone. But I've never installed TOS yet. And our new computer is a Mac, so unless I install Windows...

RotS (not Return of the Sith) was an excellent game. The puzzles were challenging...I remember running all around the Giza plaza trying to figure out what I needed to do. I had about 4 pages of notes for the game (that I still have).

Is this a fairly old game?

My PC has fairly low specs when it comes to games. Just wondred if it could handle it.

I am reading the bottom of the box for the game. It says: Requirements Win 98, 2000, XP, Pentium III, 128 MB, 16 bit Sound Card, Video card 32MB Ram.
There ya go!:)

i have the game, both the original and the rerelease. the original was a four disc set, while the rerelease is one disc. i too experinced the installment errors with the rerelease, though not the original. the game was really fun, but the ending was kind of...dissappointing. I'm going to get the omega stone soon. i can't wait. i wonder how they are going to do the introduction.( for those of you who have finished the game, you'll understand what i mean.)

For Omega Stone (I just finished it:D ) You need to have a REALLY good walkthrough to complete it. I did not have a good anough one, so I just had to quit. I can tell you this about the intro, too: Your character in RotS touched the McGuffin (I will not say what) at the end. And, as for the ending of Omega Stone: Lets just say...the end of mankind....:dead:

I've got Riddle of the Sphinx, but I kind of got bored with it as I wasn't too sure what to do at the beginning, i.e. in the tent. I might give it another try one of these days.
