Along with that, of course, came the games. Pyramid 2000 was fantastic! I had not been exposed to the games that this was cloned from, so this adventure, for me, was excellent... however, we never could get out of the Pyramid without spending the coin in the Maze at the vending machine, thus never solving the game. Can anyone post a Link to that game on-line? I have searched in vain... thanks!originalgumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02139165466760599724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274560874062585311.post-91938315579849847272010-02-26T14:18:50.622-08:002010-02-26T14:18:50.622-08:00Always thought it was very well written.
