In its essence, Ankh is an old-school, point-and-click, comic 3D adventure in the vein of such LucasArts classics as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango. Ankh is actually a remake of a game of the same name, which was released almost eight years ago. Of course it’s highly unlikely you’ll have come across the original – the game was released exclusively for the Acorn RiscPC platform which never really took off. Only about 500,000 RiscPC machines were ever sold, a majority of them in Great Britain where they were bought by British schools, while the rest were purchased by private users scattered in Germany, France, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand (practically none were sold in the United States). Thankfully, the developers of Ankh, some of whom ... worked on the original, are assured of a much larger audience this time around, with the release of the game for the PC platform. And it’s not the same old game either – everything from the storyline to the graphics has undergone an extreme makeover.
