The evil wizard Grackon has casted a Spell of Deadly Silence on Castle Crondiff, which has caused that all in the castle have vanished. However, his plans to prevent the King from having a heir have failed. For the good wizard Troda has intervened and saved Atamus, the young prince. You are that young prince, and you have returned to the castle to try to lift the curse. The doors are closed behind you. If you fail, the place will be doomed forever. Grackon's curse is a 1st person point and click adventure that plays in a 3D environment. All actions take place within the castle. The action window covers about 1/3 of the screen when the player simply walks through the corridors and rooms of the castle, but the close-ups are a bit bigger. At each stopping point the player can pan around at 90 degrees intervals. While examining some places/objects, the player will hear voices of the persons that have disappeared (not captioned). The game has six saving slots. The player can die in the game.

Secrets of the Pyramids is an edutainment title that includes 3 modes: a movie, discovery and game mode. The Movie mode presents a dramatic reconstruction of a series of events that could have taken place in Ancient Egypt. The Discovery mode describes Ancient Egypt culture, religion and history. In the Game mode you will follow Harold Peabody - dreamer, adventurer and optimist - on his quest for the hidden tomb of the mythical Pharaoh Ankh-Re. After finding a way to open the door to the pyramid, the player has to explore the pyramid, find useful items and overcome various obstacles. Stepping on the wrong tile or opening a wrong door may result in the untimely death of the hero. To avoid traps and decipher clues the player has to consult an "English-Hieroglyphics translator" found early in the game. Secrets of the Pyramids is a short, inventory-based adventure game with a simple interface (with a "look" and "use" icon). The player can only save one game at a time (by pressing the S-key). The game comes with a soundtrack and some sound effects; comments are shown in message windows that pop-up (no voices).
