These items include a miner's hat, a pair of special shoes, called "turbo tennies," that allow the player to jump higher, and four force fields that will protect the player from all damage for a few seconds. The player has three items to help him navigate through each cavern's puzzles. The Ancient World cavern is more difficult than the others and consists of a combination of all the puzzles in the main caverns. Each chamber is in the style of one of the four regions from the previous caverns. This cavern is referred to as the "Ancient World" and is composed of four new chambers.
Once the player completes all four chambers in each of the four caverns, a new cavern opens. The four main caverns, associated with the four regions of the world, may be played in any order. Afterwards, he must find the exit door and solve a logic puzzle to advance to the next chamber. Upon successfully navigating a chamber's puzzle and collecting six pieces of the artifact, the player must then solve a puzzle by orienting and placing rectangular puzzle pieces in the proper configuration to reveal a picture of the artifact.
India and China involves the manipulation of conveyor belts to advance in the proper direction. Greece and Rome caverns imply Greek letter coded gates that open by entering the right combination. I hope DOSbox would support it soon.Screenshot from Challenge of the Ancient Empires!.Īdditionally, each cavern has a different style of puzzle The Near East section implements switches that move panels blocking the way, while the Egyptian section consists mainly of triangular reflectors, which the player must orient correctly to direct a light beam and trigger a switch. I haven't tested it.Įxcellent puzzle game. It probably works on older versions, too. The controls (arrow keys) work flawlessly in every aspect of the game! Menus, profiles, puzzles, everything! All we need to do is just turn OFF the Num Lock! Either before we start the game, or after starting it it doesn't matter. I discovered this by accident on version 0.72 and it works on v0.73, too. It's pointless and confusing to have duplicate games. Unlike what cube 8 said, the num-lock key actually has no effect in my case.Ī note to Admin: I have found the same game exists in the database as "Ancient Empires". They do not work in menus and logic puzzles (which makes only the first chambers playable). Try turning the Num Lock off before starting the game. I finished it many times! Tested on XP 32- and 64-bit. Hi, just want to confirm I ran into the arrows not working also, and found that if I turn on numlock, then the arrow keys start to work fine (both on the number pad and the normal arrow keys) Challenge of the Ancient Empires - Learning Company (1991)Īrrow keys work fine even with 0.74-3 ( 17:02)
