Transamerica Pyramid in DOS, CD-ROM Deluxe and SNES versions.
- “The Transamerica Pyramid on Columbus Avenue in downtown San Francisco was built in 1972. It has become a landmark due to its unusual shape. Standing 853 feet tall, the Pyramid is said to have changed the distinct shape of the city's skyline.
