What is Pyramid 2000?
"Before you lies the tip of the Great Lost Pyramid, its giant body concealed beneath a mountain of dry, shifting desert sand…"
Pyramid 2000 is a text adventure published by Radio Shack in 1979, programmed by Robert Arnstein. You are an explorer drawn to the legendary Lost Pyramid, its entrance seal still unbroken. Inside await ancient treasures — and dangers. Collect all eleven treasures and return them to the entrance to win.
Pyramid 2000 draws heavily from the original Crowther and Woods Colossal Cave adventure, transplanting its puzzles to an Egyptian setting complete with mummies, serpents, and a fiendish maze.
