Games

Senet Game Senet: Download this zip-file containing a shareware version of the most popular ancient Egyptian boardgame for MS Windows by P.S. Neeley. This game, played by millions from the late Predynastic through Roman times, is still fun and enjoyable today. The graphics are as good as the logo to the right, the rules of play are as accurate as they get, messages pop up with details of Egyptian lore and history, lots of great game sounds, an original MIDI score etc. It's even easy to learn! As P.S. Neeley says - the only remaining question: Are you good enough to beat the Mummy at his own game?

Senet Game Hounds & Jackals: Download this zip-file containing a shareware version of a popular ancient Egyptian boardgame for MS Windows by P.S. Neeley. This Egyptian board game is found in tombs beginning in about 2100 B.C. Its Egyptian name is lost in antiquity and is known today by archaeologists only as 'Hounds & Jackals' because of its unique hound and jackal headed playing pieces. The quality of the game is the same as Senet above, with new graphics and facts. Again, as P.S. Neeley says - the only remaining question: Will you have the courage to face the 'glitter in the dunes' and the sinister power of an ancient and evil gift from a Nubian sorcerer to the Pharaoh?

Senet Game Twenty Squares: Download this zip-file containing a shareware version of a popular ancient Egyptian boardgame for MS Windows by P.S. Neeley. This Egyptian board game is often found in tombs on the other side of the ancient Senet boards. Its Egyptian name is lost in antiquity and is known today by archaeologists only as 'The 20 Squares Game'. The quality of the game is the same as Senet above, with new graphics and facts. Again, as P.S. Neeley says - the only remaining question: Can you win the sacred scroll of Thoth or will you die buried alive in the sands of Neferkapta's tomb?

Senet Game Mehen: Download this zip-file containing a shareware version of a popular ancient Egyptian boardgame for MS Windows by P.S. Neeley. This Egyptian board game which is also called 'Game of the Snake' was played almost 5000 years ago. The game which has been forbidden, and almost forgotten, since 4000 years ago, is now here, in the present, and ready for you to play. Welcome to a game of the most ancient Egyptians - the shadowy 'Scorpion King', Imhotep, Menes, Cheops, and now you! As P.S. Neeley says - Will you prove 'Beloved of Re' or will you die under the claws and teeth of his 'Destroying Arm'?
