Riddle of the Sphinx was released by Imagic for the Atari 2600 in 1982. Although this was one of the more complex Atari 2600 games available (you even had to manipulate switches on the console itself in order to view different screens) it had mixed reviews at best. It is certainly a unique game but in spite of the complexity (or maybe because of) it just wasn’t as fun as it could have been.
