An arcade game from a strategy house has to be unusual and this
is, in a funny sort of way. Unlike most games, where you stay on
Screen 1 until you have mastered it with lives to spare, one life
lost here automatically sends you to the next screen, making
practice on any one screen, making practice on any one screen very
difficult and totally confusing me.
A "Panic" scenario: you're an Egyptian Mummy, cruelly disinterred
and seeking your tomb. You must break into the Pyramid, pass through
various levels, reading 25 cartouches, avoid Badorgs, Zobs, Dibrachs
and Mad Clive's ghost. I don't know what they are but they don't look
nice and they must all be buried before you run out of oxygen. Why
exactly a dead body needs oxygen is not explained.
Nice graphics. The controls are relatively easy, although I
may not have the hang of reading cartouches - nothing happens.
But persevere I shall, to my grave.
