Another piece of Saturday morning trivia (sorry this thing for Egyptology trivia is a real weakness) - here is an Egyptology-based games for those of you with the electronic games bug, and a computer-generated (CG) movie:

Midway Games Day Report
First a new game will enable you to command Egypt. "Stainless Steel Studios' Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War is a project that has captured the attention and interest of quite a few RPG aficionados. It's a real-time strategy title, one in which you'll be able to command four great empires of the ancient world including Greece, Rome, Egypt and Persia . . . . There will be eight champions in all. At this time, we know three-quarters of the list - Julius Caesar, Germanicus Caesar, Cleopatra, Ramses the Great, Achilles and Alexander the Great. "
Immortal

"Set in New York City in 2095, Immortal tells the tale of Earth being visited by ancient Egyptian gods who are, in reality, immortal aliens responsible for the construction of all planets in the universe. Having cast judgment on Horus, the god responsible for the creation of Earth, the gods have given him seven days to reclaim his immortality by mating with a rare species that occasionally pops up around the universe. This rare female species is a universal anomaly, one whose presence cannot be predicted, and who sports the rare ability of being the only females in the universe who can mate with immortals". Sounds like an absolute hoot! See the review for more details.

I think "Immortal" is in fact just a CGI movie, rather than a game, based on the review...
Yes, you're right - a bit of careless editing on my part. I've changed both the title and the first paragraph to reflect that Immortal is a CG movie. I haven't actually got the patience to learn computer games, but Immortal, the CG movie, looks like a real laugh!
It is based on a series of graphic novels La trilogie Nikopol by the Bosnian French artist Enki Bilal, and is quite well known. See Comic Creator: Enki Bilal and among many others. For the movie and links to the trailer, see the
Strange! My first post previewed fine but got mangled in the final post. Here it is again minus HTML

Went onto Amazon to see if I could order a copy - unfortunately it is not compatible with my DVD player. However, there is a review on the site and for those who do have a compatible DVD player, the link is: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0008ENI0W/qid%3D1124799723/026-6290965-8329255
