Finest computer game I have ever experienced…

By Riddle of the Sphinx Testimonials, Testimonials No Comments

I finished the game weeks ago. I still miss it. It was the finest computer game I have ever experienced. Really. I’m a 40-something guy who has played more than my fair share of games (I was there when PONG came out). This was a delight! You and your husband hit a grand slam. I’m not the least bit upset about the delay of the book. I’ll enjoy flipping through it to see what I missed. But what I’m REALLY waiting for is the sequel! Any hints on when we can expect that? I’ll be waiting.

Wow — thank you for responding in virtual person, Lightning Chimp — I completed the saga and was delighted by the ending. You, Fire Queen & your team created such a wonderful world for me to explore! I think that you folks have instantiated a fine example of virtual world design. Thank you for your *huge* effort, it was a delightful journey. I am especially grateful for the air of suspense you achieved without including violent conflict. Wholeheartedly looking forward to your next adventure, God Bless

ROTS is an adventure game to be set upon a pedestal with the very greatest.

By Riddle of the Sphinx Testimonials, Testimonials No Comments

ROTS is one of the best games I have ever played. I just got it after reading all its praise on your web site and others, which is definitely well deserved, I have to say. The incredible attention to detail and playability that you devoted to this game is something scarce to the adventure game market today. You have done something with this game that many have failed to do: created a rich, real environment that allows “maximum absorption” into the premise. It makes me want to come back day after day. And most important: it’s thorough and complete; something that satisfies my interest in Egyptology almost as completely as actually going to Egypt, which I’ve never done, so ROTS allows me to do that. ROTS is an adventure game to be set upon a pedestal with the very greatest. You’ve created a game with substance and character. You did a highly commendable and wonderful job.

It was TOTALLY worth the wait!

By Riddle of the Sphinx Testimonials, Testimonials No Comments

I just finished ROTS!  Awesome!  It was TOTALLY worth the wait!   I was cheered to read the credits (yep! I sit through the ones in the movie theater too!).  Nice to see so much family involved in the “fun”!  Do they still speak to you?  ; ) Anyway you’d think that with ROTS, and The History Channel’s “Egypt: Beyond The Pyramids”  with Peter Wooodward (he’s SO handsome!  In the immortal words of Daffy Duck “Drool, Drool!”) I’d be all Egypt’ed out………NO WAY!  MORE! MORE!  Bring it on! Anyway……….!  Thank you for the most enjoyable (and devilishly frustrating) game hours of my life! Let me know if I can help you with any future project (do you dare?)….Cheers!
