From the name of the game, and its Egyptian setting, do you think the devs were Iron Maiden fans? One of their albums is called Powerslave, and the art has an Egyptian style building in front.

It was called Exhumed in parts of Europe for several systems (PC, PS1, Saturn), and Seireki 1999: Pharaoh no Fukkatsu in Japan. The Saturn, PS1 and PC versions were all pretty different in terms of level design (PC=Huge levels, PS1=Smallest levels, Saturn=In the middle), but shared a lot of similarities elsewhere (the monsters and weapons for the most part, the opening and CD audio, etc.).

Personally, I think the Saturn version came out the best, and got the most attention. It came to a system with little in the way of FPSs, had those rather nice new lighting effects, and streamlined the gameplay so it was a bit more intense, and not as exploratory.

But, as Dennis Miller used to say, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

I was gonna mention the Iron Maiden thing. But you did first. So, actually, I don't know why I'm posting this.

Hmm.

Not likely. While the game is 12 years old this year, and Lobotomy (it's maker) no longer exists, Interplay is on the ESA protection list, and still an active company. So unless I'm mistaken on how this whole thing works, anything that has Interplay's name on it can't and won't be added to this site.

Edit: After some digging, there seems to be some ten year rule, and a fifteen year rule. Not sure what the difference is in terms of what applies where, but if the fifteen year rule is the general one that's being used for companies that are still around, then there's another three years to go.

I remember being able to download it off Underdogs, try there, they might have an agreement with ESA (or are hosting it w/o permission).
