Scarab of Ra – Adventure Game Review
Scarab of Ra is a Adventure/Entertainment game from Semicolon LLC, first launched in 26th January 2022.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 24+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Scarab of Ra Stand Out
Explore the mazes of the Great Pyramid of Ra! Each level is a new, larger, random maze to solve. Find tools and supplies abandoned by earlier, failed expeditions, try to avoid the traps, and encounter dangerous animals and the fearsome Guardians as you seek the three sacred Talismans of Ra the Sun-God. This faithful, retro-styled recreation of the original shareware classic from 1987 also offers optional new game features including new tools and hazards, and controls that allow you to tone down Animal Ferocity and the dangers of traps to suit your preference.
This Adventure game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This was a beloved game from our childhood, and Ive been waiting and hoping for so long to be able to play it again. Its just as fun as we remember. Thanks.
Very faithful to the original, that effin mummy gets us every time!! We grew up playing this game, love it.
We are ecstatic they have made this iOS version. After years of searching and playing subpar imitations – it is wonderful to have this game on our hands again! SO many hours in the early 90s playing this on our old college Mac SE! Thank you Semicolon.
Ive been checking the App Store every so often when the mood strikes, hoping that somebody revived this game. We used to spend hours as a kid exploring the pyramid, and this game is a faithful replication of that experience. People looking for splashy graphics will need to look elsewhere, but this is a fun maze game using the setting of an archaeological exploration as the motivation. We just rediscovered this game and havent been able to put it down. Thank you.
While watching The Mummy with Brendan Frasier, we remembered playing this game on the family Macintosh LC when we were young. Did some poking around online and it turns out it was remade. Fun memories.
Ive been thinking of this game for decades and its just as fun as we remember. For some reason it wont let us get past the 18th level, but thats the only glitch. The new tools are awesome, too. Only real problem are our hands clawing up from playing this so much.
We are so excited to have this game back in our life! Its an original and we love it.
Game is nearly the exact original to our mac we had in 1998. Gameplay and screen shots are just like the original.
After about five minutes of play, the app crashes and we lose most of our progress.
We cant believe this still exists, strong memories playing in a Dundee basement in the late 80s or early 90s.
