Pametha
Pametha is an adventure game set in ancient Egypt. As a player, you find yourself in the middle of a strange world. Only with time do you realize that you are suspected of stealing a valuable flute. Now begins a journey through the land of the Nile 3,500 years ago. On the website, Philip Gressly writes: “Pamehta was my first major computer game. I sacrificed three months of my semester break to work on it, which put me a little behind in my math studies ;-( ... but I made up for it in my computer science studies. I learned a lot about game programming and Egypt in the process.” The game was originally developed for the Amiga operating system. Gressly and Freimann still run a website today where a download for Amiga emulator is offered.
However, it can also be played directly online via this link: agijs.ra-phi.ch. An interpreter called AGI js is provided for this purpose. AGI js is an interpreter written in JavaScript (js). It is capable of playing games that were implemented with AGI (AGI = Adventure Game Interpreter for Amiga) in the browser. This means that the two well-known AMIGA games Pamehta (1989) and Züri (1992) – also by Gressly and Freimann – can be played directly in the browser. AGI1 and AGI3 were developed by Raphael Schweikert.
The game is an impressive graphic adventure divided into six chapters and written entirely in German. It was released as shareware. Even today, you have to donate 10 Swiss francs (virtually) to the developer before you can start playing. A review in the Amiga Magazin 07/92 compliments the adventure.
Gressly and Freiman also offer a complete walkthrough for the adventure on their website: https://freimann.eu/eliphi/phi/pamehta/komplettloesung.php
