IRF Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 I've already put someone straight in the comments section, regarding the joke (in the room names of the two opening rooms). Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done, with a link to this page 🙂 . Funnily enough, one of the comments on YouTube reads, "Love the Egyptian theme." Those of you who have access to Contributor Lounge may remember that I was commenting on the fact that "The Great Pyramid" usually refers to The Great Pyramid of Giza. I was expressing concern that someone may become interested in the game because of the title, and then be disappointed because the game is NOT about The Great Pyramid of Giza and does NOT really have any Egyptian theme. And now someone loves the Egyptian theme in the game! Apparently, I needn't have worried... 😄 IRF and Spider 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsetdanny Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Thanks to your comments, Ian, I have only now understood the joke in the names of the two opening rooms! 😮 It reminds me of a joke I heard a few years ago, after hundreds of thousands of Polish people moved to the UK. The joke is in Polish, but I'll relate it in English, explaining the final play on words. A recent Polish immigrant comes into a store in the UK. He is trying to buy something. He asks for "piłka" [in Polish "piłka" = "ball"]. He is explaining what he wants using gestures (showing the round shape, throwing, kicking, catching, etc.). Finally, the British salesperson catches on and says, "Oh, a ball!". The Polish guy confirms happily and says, "And now concentrate, please! What I need is piłka do metalu". [in Polish "piłka do metalu" = "hacksaw" 😄] Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 @geoff, its a good review well deserved. 🙂 Top work. I do note the reviewer does have reviews of some other games here, three at least from a cursory search so I'll add the links (not watched them, could be good or bad!) to each relevant topic too. @jetsetdannyYour joke sort of reminds me of "Fork Handles" by The Two Ronnies. You may wish to check out a YouTube or similar video of this if you've not seen it. 😉 Back on topic: Once again, top work Geoff. Could not find a 'Pyramid' smilie quickly so I thought the 'triangle' one and a camel (desert/pyramids) would suffice: 🐫🔺 jetsetdanny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff Posted June 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 I'd still love to know if anyone has anything worthwhile to say about the older Pyramid which I uploaded... jetsetdanny and Spider 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
