Pyramids of Ra
SCORE: 93
I am very thankful I had enough money to purchase the Piko
Interactive Collection 1, and the Piko Interactive Collection 2. The
reason is if you put both of those cartridges into the Evercade VS
system then you get Pyramids of Ra as a free additional video game.
Peter and I live streamed Pyramids of Ra during the session we did on
Evercade secret video games on the Evercade VS system. In essence we got
Pyramids of Ra for free since we already owned all of the other required
items. I love how Blaze Entertainment is giving out free games to their
audience.
Pyramids of Ra was originally on the Gameboy back in 1993. The graphics
do look a bit dated on most of the screens, especially the one that
shows the password for that level. The animation is nice on the game
play screen of Pyramids of Ra. I should also let Family Friendly Gaming
Universe know that Pyramids of Ra is a puzzle video game. You might have
played gamers similar to Pyramids of Ra in the past. Or maybe a mini
game within some other game had the same game play mechanics and style.
We must take our little light and move it around the screen in Pyramids
of Ra. The goal is to cross each of the tiles and then make it to the S
tile. We must go across each of the tiles within Pyramids of Ra. As
players progress through the game Pyramids of Ra gets more complex and
players will need to go across the same tile multiple times. The way you
can tell is the color of the tile. A red tile for example can only be
gone over once before it vanishes. Players cannot go back over that
space again either.
If the concept is still confusing then please go to the videos section
of Family Friendly Gaming, go to the Evercade page and bring up the page
for Pyramids of Ra. You can watch the video so see what I am talking
about. Pyramids of Ra is a blast and there are plenty of levels to go
through. Families will get their moneys worth out of Pyramids of Ra. Did
I mention we paid no additional money to play Pyramids of Ra on the
Evercade VS system? I think I might have mentioned it before in this
review.
The music within Pyramids of Ra is jamming. The hardest part about
Pyramids of Ra is figuring out how to solve some of these puzzles. Peter
ran into some issues during the live stream. I have played Pyramids of
Ra since then and can tell you that the screens are definitely solvable.
The cool thing is there is more than one way to solve the screens in
Pyramids of Ra. Peter would do it one way and I thought of another way
it could be done. We found no offensive content while playing Pyramids
of Ra.
