What The Lost City of Atlantis is

The Lost City of Atlantis is a platform game developed by Noch Software and released in 1995. It is available on DOS only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The story behind the game features Raghim, a Phoenician merchant who wants to travel and be successful but didn't really know how to go about it. Then, one day in a Greek market, a lizard gave him a map into Atlantis and set him on his travels. He starts the game naked and defenceless. His task in each level is to collect seven crystals and give them to the wizard lizard who will then let him leave the level. Of course there are monsters to avoid/overcome so Raghim must collect pearls which can be traded for weapons and should he get hurt there are 'life jars' and food to be collected.
