    Have you tried writing a letter to Ednovation? That's what I'd do.

    You didn't throw the CD parts away, did you? That was supposed to be the second part of the puzzle -- rebuilding the CD perfectly. It was my favorite part of the game, personally.

    Wait. You had a nervous breakdown because of a game? :O

    I mean, the most I had, was getting seriously pissed off when I couldn't find a game I had, but from there to having a nervous breakdown, it goes a loong looong way. You probably need help though.
    BLARGH!

    yeah, I do need help. the thing is, I've never been this flabbergasted at a game before-not because of itself, but because this is the first time sth other than women have proved to be unconquerable/undoable/unlearnable. even calculus (eventually) gets done well by me. I don't believe in failure.

    and no, don't take that part literally; I was ****** off, but didn't really suffer one. unless you define screaming like Spoony did when his inventory was stolen a "nervous breakdown".

    also, I have been able to find another; unfortunately, its in Kuwait, and while my mom can get a hold of that person (the latter being a friend of mom's), she won't email her-not out of refusal, but forgetfulness. the person herself apparently offered to ship stuff over to mom that she needed for schooling, but my mom never got around to it either.

    You obviously didn't play mass effect 3 at the time. Or Never winter nights 2. Or KOTOR 2.
    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    I got an answer: they no longer sell CD's; everything is online, and going there, there is no sign of the game

    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
