We are a company dedicated to producing top quality shareware
games. Our philosophy is simple..make GREAT games! We figure
that if we make good games, you'll buy them. We want to deliver
great games to you for a reasonable price. We want to make games
that you can't stop playing until it's 4:30 in the morning. We
want to make games that are challenging in both puzzles and
gameplay, yet fair enough for anyone to finish. We will publish
about eight to ten new games per year! You won't be bored waiting
for high quality new shareware games to play, and we aren't going
anywhere, so get used to seeing the Micro F/X name in shareware.

: PHARAOH'S TOMB :
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
$25 for all four volumes (80 levels!)
Pharaoh's Tomb is an arcade/adventure game set in a huge Egyptian
pyramid. You will need to explore and survive 20 uniquely
dangerous levels (screens) riddled with ingenious puzzles and
traps. This game uses a special animation system called
FAST (Fluid Animation Software Technology) which allows for
flicker free movement even on the older IBM PC's.
You will start with five lives and a few spears, which can be
thrown at offending denizens that guard the pyramid. Moving
walls, falling spikes, bats, mummys, and magic winds are just
some of the hazards to overcome. On each level you will need
to collect one or more keys to advance to the next level. And
hidden on the final level will be the prize of your journey.
Notable features: No two levels will have the same animated
creature patrolling it, which adds greatly to the variety of
the game. Sound effects are also used, but can be toggled off.
The keyboard controls can be configured to two alternate sets
of keys. A five player permanent high score table keeps tracks
of the all-time best explorers. Plus, you can save the game on
any level and restore at any time.
This is the first of four volumes of Pharaoh's Tomb, subtitled
"Raiders of the Lost Tomb" The other three volumes are:
"Pharaoh's Curse", "Temple of Terror", and "Nevada's Revenge!".
The volumes should be played in sequence, since they continue
the story to the final encounter. Each volume is $10, or order
all four for just $25. All orders must include an extra $2 P&H.
For ordering you will get the newest versions, a hint sheet, and
the secret cheat code for infinite lives.
What the press thinks of Pharaoh's Tomb:
"Pharaoh's Tomb is obviously a take-off on the Indiana Jones
films and the actual play is highly reminiscent of the
classic Miner 2049er arcade game that was such a hit on
Atari and Commodore 8-bit machines a few years back. The
combination works well and will provide hundreds of hours
of fun. It's an outstanding value."
- Computer Gaming World magazine
(March 1991)
"Do you crave adventure? Then get ready for Pharaoh's Tomb.
For an escape into a world of unknown dangers, don't switch
on the television; put Pharaoh's Tomb in the drive and take
the road to adventure."
- Compute magazine
(January 1991)
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
: ARCTIC ADVENTURE :
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
$25 for all four volumes (80 levels!)
The second exciting adventure of Nevada Smith. Nevada wasn't
satisfied with finding the elusive Pharaoh's tomb in his
first adventure. After months of searching, Nevada has
found a new quest! Join our intrepid hero as he heads for
the Arctic in search of an ancient, hidden, Viking treasure
cave!
Arctic Adventure contains 80 new levels of mind bending,
finger twitching arcade action. This game uses the FAST
(Fluid Animation Software Technology) system which allows for
flicker free movement even on the older IBM PC's.
Nevada will face freezing waters, diabolical traps, slippery
ice patches, falling stalactites, runaway snowballs and
even abominable snowmen! There are many, many more
obstacles for Nevada to overcome in this chilling adventure
series.
You will start on the arctic map and must find your way
around the hazardous ice caves. You are searching for the
remaining fragments of a map that will eventually lead you
to the location of the hidden treasure cave. Gather pick
axes to break walls and bullets to shoot dangerous
enemies, or find the boat to cross the freezing waters to
unknown caves. The choices are your, but the adventure is
great.
Features: Great sound effects that can be toggled on or off.
Flawless keyboard controls or you can use the joystick. A
permanent high score table will keep your name on record for
all to see, and as with ALL Micro F/X games, you can save and
restore your game.
The price is $10 per volume, or all four volumes for only $25.
By ordering, you will receive the newest versions, a hint sheet,
and a secret cheat code for infinite supplies. (You can easily
finish all the games with the cheat code. You won't get stuck
buying a game you can't finish!) Please add $3 for shipping and
handling.
