Scarab of Ra
Explore a shifting Egyptian pyramid in Rick Holzgrafe's classic Macintosh shareware adventure.
Rick Holzgrafe, 1988
Into the pyramid
Search the Great Pyramid of Ra for lost artefacts, using the on-screen controls to explore its changing rooms and keep track of your supplies. Rick Holzgrafe's original version 1.4 remains available as shareware from Semicolon Software.
This entry uses a preserved HFS disk-image repack of that game so Systemless can launch it directly. The pyramid interface and movement work in the browser.

Permission
The copyright holder's site still offers Scarab of Ra 1.4 as Macintosh shareware. Gryphel labels the preserved copy shareware and packages the game from the original self-extracting distribution into an HFS disk image inside a ZIP. These are the unchanged bytes of Gryphel's upstream distributable, not the original author-distributed container; no registration data is included.
Notes
Gryphel's ZIP includes the 819,200-byte HFS disk image and its checksum. The unchanged ZIP has SHA-256 090a5e2c9549760dcd7b3ae69518df412bd69bc3c6c548b5ef926bfde54b1d39. The author's original self-extracting BinHex file is separately documented in the source links but is not the playable archive used here.
