    I found two mentions about the game with Google: This thread and a topic post from 2002 which says 'you should try Return to the Jurassic and Secrets of the Pyramids from Ednovia', this pyramid title led me to the National Library of Singapore here:
    http://snb.nl.sg/holding/itemholding.aspx?bid=7399011
    A description of the developer:
    http://www.mobygames.com/company/ednovation/overview
    And a description of Secrets of the Pyramids:
    http://www.mobygames.com/game/win3x/...pyramids/links which was published by Mindscape in 1994.
    Typing in 'Download Secrets of the Pyramid' I got to a site where you can download rare retro adventure games, but your game is just too obscure for that site.
    Looking further for Secrets of the Pyramid turns up nothing and the publisher is a lame company which teaches todlers how to computer, I don't think you'll ever see that game again, it's just lost in time.

    yeah, I'm aware of those; I've pretty much resigned myself to not playing it again.

    at least I found Turok: dinosaur hunter
    I was once alive, but then a girl came and took out my ticker.

    tired of ridiculous trouble with walking animations? then you need my brand newmotion capture for the common man!

    Two recommendations for a dinosaur freak such as yourself,

    Tresspasser. It's broken. But criminally underrated.
    Carnivores. You get to hunt Dinosaurs. Sometimes they hunt you.

    A great game, I remember playing for days to get to the sniper rifle to shoot some T-Rex.

    How could you do such thing to creature that magnificent. Use the bow.

    Great game indeed, was stalking a whatsitcalled, he was on to me and I couldn't get a shot. When I finally was close enough it was snatched by a raptor. Then I was they sneak up on you. Amazing ecosystem and AI for such an old game, a predator is a rare sight but these encounters are memorable.

    if you watn trespassers, I still have a copy (no idea why, I never got past the first couple levels...) I'd be willing to send to you/upload for you.


    and yes, Carnivores was epic. if only they made a remake, with farther LOS and better graphics. one can only dream...

    I would keep the copy, it's a collectors item people pay good money for. It's widely regarded as one of the biggest disasters in gaming history, but It still has a small but absolutely rabid fan community.

    Carnivores II exists, but it's more of an expansion. No better graphics, just more dinosaurs, maps and weapons.
