clone. The software itself installed and ran well, although I had to deal with a nautilus couple of minor glitches. I did the full install on my Windows XP laptop with only a 4 MB onboard video chip; at first the game wouldn't run at all. But I looked at all of the shortcuts put on the Start menu and saw one called "Configure Pharaoh's Curse" nautilus that allowed me to switch to nautilus software rendering. After that, I had a couple of hard crashes outside the game, and when Windows restarted and did that disk-checking thing, it repaired a couple of Pharaoh's Curse files. I don't know what was changed or why, but both times the game, and the rest of my computer, ran fine afterward. Pharaoh's Curse is nothing more than another cookie-cutter game to fill the Cryo vacuum. I could always go off on another rant about how "the genre is ripe for innovation and so why are we continually force-fed this kind of tripe," but I'll let my rotten egg do my talking for me. There is nothing inherently wrong with Pharaoh's Curse, it's just that it's all, and I do mean all, been done before and I was bored the whole time I was playing.
