Mask of the Sun
The Mask of the Sun is an illustrated Adventure that was originally written by Ultrasoft for the Apple II. It has now been translated for the Atari and is distributed by Broderbund. The Atari version occupies two double-sided disks. That's a lot of Adventure, but is it worth the money?

The Mask of the Sun has the potential to be a great Adventure. It has a strong plot cast in the same vein as 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom', however, it is let down by the worst mazes and the unfairest puzzles in all of Adventuredom! Only the toughest, most hardened Adventurer will finish this one without any help.

In The Mask of the Sun, you play the part of Mac Steele – archaeologist, adventurer and not particularly honest treasure hunter. Your arch rival Francisco Roboff, has stolen the scrolls of Lhasa which you acquired in a previous expedition. In the subsequent fracas with Roboff, you return his gesture by stealing an Aztec amulet. During your later research on the amulet, you discover that it may be linked to a more fascinating artifact known as the Mask of the Sun.
