History VideoGame / ScarabOfRa

A turn-based, FauxFirstPerson3D RogueLike that visually resembles ''VideoGame/MazeWar,'' set inside an Egyptian pyramid. Released for UsefulNotes/{{Macintosh}} in 1987 by Semicolon Software.

* LockedDoor: Plenty, usually requiring one of the InterchangeableAntimatterKeys to open.

* InGameBankingServices: Some of the texts on walls throughout the pyramid will turn out to be deposits where you can bank your money. In this game, money has no purpose except increasing your score; if you die then you lose a percentage of the value of any money you had on you. Banking ensures that you get the full value, and also means you don't have to carry it around -- gold is very heavy.

* ImplacableMan: [[{{Mummy}} The Guardian]], which will chase the player down in any level in which one of the sacred relics are present. Unlike the animals, it ''can'' be killed, but only by throwing the Scarab of Ra at it.

* WhipItGood: Subverted; the bullwhip frightens animals but can't injure them.
