The Dagger of Amon Ra

An Largely Unknown Gem

YES!!!!! Finally!!!!!!!! Now that GOG has released nearly all of the old Sierra adventure games I was wondering when this one was going to pop up. It now finally has. THANK YOU GOG! Awesome as always. The Dagger of Amon Ra was one of the more obscure titles in Sierra's catalogue. But if you are a point-and-click fan, this one cannot be missed as it really does deserve a place alongside Sierra's other adventure games. The game stands on its own, and you do not need to have played the Colonel's Bequest to understand the plot. The only slight annoyance for me is that there are several points-of-no-return that are typical of old adventure games, but never the kind that makes finishing the game impossible. For some, however, this could be one of the game's strengths and allow replayability. Like Colonel's Bequest and Gabriel Knight 1, each act of the game contains several time intervals, allowing only certain actions to be taken or certain conversations to be had during this time frame. If you miss some of them and perform the core actions that bring you to the next interval, you will either not be able to get the good ending at all or you will not have enough evidence to successfully complete the ending sequence.
