Play Egypt (Japan) [En by Dodgy v1.01] Online
You slide around pyramid corridors, misjudge jumps into spike pits, and slowly decode cryptic hieroglyphs while mummies shamble after you—pure NES-era frustration with weird charm.
Game Overview
Ever stumble across an NES game that feels like it fell out of a time capsule? Egypt (Japan) is one of those weird little platformers that never made it overseas—until some dedicated fans translated it. You're basically a treasure hunter dodging booby traps in blocky pyramids, deciphering hieroglyphs that may or may not be trolling you, and dying a lot to spike pits. Classic NES stuff.
The controls take some getting used to—your guy slides a bit when he stops running, which either feels "authentically janky" or "infuriating" depending on how many times you've faceplanted into a mummy today. But there's something oddly satisfying about memorizing trap patterns and finally nailing that jump over the rolling boulder after six attempts. It's not exactly Prince of Persia, but for an obscure 8-bit relic, it's got personality.
If you're the type who digs through ROM hacks and fan translations just to see what weirdness slipped through the cracks back then, this one's a fun afternoon time capsule. Just keep your patience handy alongside the turbo controller.
