世嘉未发售的土星原型游戏《金字塔》初露真容
近期，Sega Retro 在其网站上发现了一款名为“Pyramid”的世嘉土星未发售游戏原型盘。
这款游戏并非《Nazo: Ankh 2》的变体，而是基于PC教育游戏《Pyramid: Challenge of the Pharaoh’s Dream》改编的。
游戏是一个技术演示，玩家通过D-pad控制指针，并利用Z键拾取物品，左右按键进行场景滚动。
开发人员Alexander Ehrath证实，该项目为探索将教育游戏移植到主机平台的尝试，但最终仅停留在技术演示阶段。
通过对游戏数据的分析，团队得以了解更多关于该项目的信息，并对这款被遗忘的作品进行了深入研究。

As of early 2026, Sega Retro has more than 300 pages about Unreleased Saturn games. There’s one game that doesn’t have a page, however: Pyramid.What’s Pyramid? That’s what we wondered when we came across this disc:The disc’s owner wasn’t able to provide many details. Our best guess was that it was a version of Pyramid no Nazo: Ankh 2, an unreleased Saturn FMV game.Thankfully, the CD-R managed to survive for 29 years perfectly intact – it booted right up and greeted us with this screen:This didn’t match with our guess at all, but it was enough of a clue to ID the game.Comparing the scene above to images associated with PC games that had “Pyramid” in the title revealed that it’s from Pyramid: Challenge of the Pharaoh’s Dream.The PC version’s logoPyramid was developed by Knowledge Adventure and published by McGraw Hill Home Interactive. It was an edutainment title, the sort of thing you might have played in your elementary school’s computer lab in the mid-1990s. And indeed, YouTube videos and Reddit threads have comments from people who remember experiencing it that way.The premise of the game is that you’re an archaeologist who gets transported back in time to ancient Egypt. You witness various scenes related to the building of a great pyramid. In the process, you hopefully learn something about the past – or are at least occupied long enough to let your teacher catch up on grading.The Saturn version seems to be a tech demo. These controls are implemented:Move the pointer around with the D-pad.Pick up and put down objects with the Z button.Scroll left with L and right with R.Play a voice clip with A.Picking up objects in the Saturn versionIf you scroll over to the right, there are three guys standing around. They move around on their own, but you can’t really interact with them.The three workersAccording to the HINT_1.TXT file on the disc for the PC version, this scene is called Leveling the Foundation. You’re meant to show the objects to the workers. They’re supposed to tell you what each one is and whether it’s needed for this part of the pyramid’s construction.This is the full walkthrough from that file:1. Click on the various tools and hand them to the workers for clues.
2. You can also click on the journal at the top left of the screen
for details about the tools.
