Synopsis

Pompeii was one of the last titles announced by Apollo, but was never released when the company closed after the crash. The game featured an Indiana Jones-style archaeologist exploring the ruins of Pompeii in search of treasure.

The only known prototype is very incomplete. The settings show a smoking volcano and two mysterious shapes, perhaps treasures. The character has a slight walking animation, too slow, and the brown columns serve as markers for undefined enemies.

The prototype is limited to movement: walking on the columns or pressing the left button displays hexadecimal numbers, and the right button causes lava to rise, which does not affect the player. Beyond this, no further action is possible.

Despite its simplicity, Pompeii seemed promising and could have restored Apollo's image, but the crash prevented it.
