In Adventure 8: Pyramid of Doom, you are whisked away to the deserts of Egypt to search a pyramid for treasure or be punished for defiling the ancient tombs. Obstacles along the way include cobras, mummies, and skeletons.

This game is from the Scott Adams Adventure series produced for personal computers between 1978 and 1984. Adams' inspiration was the original DEC Adventure program which allowed the player to use two-word commands to explore an imaginary world and manipulate items.

This Scott Adams Adventure uses a split-screen format. The top of the screen displays a description of the current room and its contents. The bottom portion of the screen scrolls as you enter new commands. A save game feature allows you to save your progress. ~ Joseph Scoleri III, All Game Guide
