A curse has been placed on the land following the theft of the two rubies which served as the eyes of the Pharaoh Ickabathan's mummy. You must attempt to break the curse by recovering the lost rubies from within the Pharaoh's pyramid and return them to the mummy.

The Curse of the Pharaoh is an illustrated Adventure. It didn't actually appear as a printed listing in SoftSide, but was included on the Atari Disk Version. Unlike Kidnapped, it was written specifically for the Atari and appears to be an experimental attempt at writing an Adventure with graphics. Although the graphics are crude, it is the only illustrated Adventure I have seen that resides completely in memory and does not require any disk access. It's generally fairly easy and is again suited to beginners.
