Oasis is a turn-based strategy game by Mind Control Software. The player takes a role of a pharaoh who has to collect 12 glyphs. Each stage has a randomly generated 10x10 grid layout covered in fog. Players must use the limited amount of turns (usually 85) to discover cities, build roads to connect them so they can grow, search them for treasures, and invest in mines to develop technology, all to build up a sizable, well-armed population.
