Hey friends! Back in middle school I was OBSESSED with this Egypt resource management game called Virtual History Ancient Egypt, but it has since vanished from the internet. Does anyone perhaps have a version of that runs or know where I can get one? I have the technical skills to hack a virtual machine together if needed.
No idea if it's remotely similar but it made immediately think about this: https://www.gog.com/en/game/pharaoh_cleopatra
That's a good game.
Pharaoh/Cleopatra includes somewhat detailed descriptions of life in ancient Egypt in context of the gameplay. You have a beer production chain; the game has a short outline of beer in ancient Egypt.
It has great gameplay too that stands the test of time.
Looks like archive.org has it: https://archive.org/details/virtual-history-ancient-egypt
You are my hero and I love you
Lol the folks at archive.org are the real heros.
