Let's not forget to mention James Garon and Ralph Burris who also are 
credited for this game in 1982.

Also, Frank Cohen has been credited for this game. Don't know the story 
here. Maybe he did the original design? On the Apple or Atari?

I don't know if it was the first "animated graphic adventure". The game 
doesn't appear to be well  known to the "outside world". I know Sierra's 
Mystery Fun House was released in 1980. I don't know if it was animated. 
I remember the excellent Mark Data series of animated graphic adventures 
but I think they came after Sands of Egypt?

It would be interesting to get the history of this. Can you shed any 
light here Steve?

I agree 101% with this.   :)
