Play Arazok's Tomb Online

Game Overview

So, Arazok's Tomb—it’s this old-school Amiga text adventure with just enough graphics to give you a vibe, but mostly it’s about typing commands and figuring out what the heck happened to your archaeologist friends in a creepy Scottish tomb. The parser’s a little picky—don’t try anything fancy like "pick up the dagger," just "get dagger" or it’ll stare blankly at you. There’s even some janky speech synthesis if you’re into that retro charm.

You play as Mark Trade, a reporter who gets dragged into this mess when Daphney and her uncle vanish during an excavation. First thing you know, you’re poking around a tomb full of weird clues, trying not to get lost in the descriptions. The animations are sparse but kinda cool when they pop up—mostly just little flourishes to remind you it’s not all walls of text.

It’s not Infocom-level deep, but if you like your mysteries with a side of late-'80s adventure game jank, this one’s got a solid vibe. Just don’t expect the parser to understand your poetry.
