The Monuments of Mars

One of Todd Replogle's pre-Duke Nukem games, The Monuments of Mars brings the player into a series of CGA flip-screens throughout Mars.

It uses the FAST engine also used for Pharaoh's Tomb and Arctic Adventure; not to be confused with the (unrelated) F.A.S.T. engine used in Monster Bash.

Unused Graphics#

Hidden for the graphics of the second and third episodes is a statue never seen in the game.
