Description
Dead Tomb is a brand-new fun, point and click adventure game, that will take you back to the heyday of retro gaming.
Your employer sends you on a study that takes you back in time, but as fate would have it, you find yourself in a serious predicament.
A malfunction in your ship forces you to land in Egypt 1300BC where luckily you spot a huge pyramid you can set your craft down on. Well, maybe you are not so lucky?
It should be an easy fix. One you have done so many times before. It should be only a short time before you are back to your journey, right?
Not so fast. The Pharaoh Seti I's soldiers discover your appearance in their land and take matters into their own hands.
The next thing you know, you wake up with a huge bump on your head and deep inside the pyramid.
Where are you? Why are you here? Can you get out and return to your mission?
Time will tell...
History
The game is a love letter to a lost video game genre that was a staple in the early days of gaming.
Dead Tomb was developed over a two-year period by the team at CollectorVision/Acclaim, who all share a passion for the Point n Click genre.
Dead Tomb is based on a game called 'Temporel Inc' which was only available on the defunct Videoway cable service system in Canada and in some parts of the United Kingdom during the late 80's and 90's.
Sadly, none of the Videoway games have been preserved, all lost in time...

"One of the main reasons we wanted to make Dead Tomb is because we think there aren't many point and click games available for the NES, and we love that genre of games." said John Lester, P.R, Marketing & Community Manager for CollectorVision.
