Simon B<p>My teenage self was really keen on egyptology and computer games and the author generated a lot of hype about "Tale of Anubus" with teaser ads and screenshots. I got super excited and in my mind, this game became the best thing ever. <br>I even found the author's address and wrote to him, and received a reply on cool watermarked paper. <br>Alas the game never saw light of day, and we never even saw a development release.
