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.
