On an expedition to the Egyptian pyramids, you are trapped in rooms containing treasure, scrolls, keys and Royal mummies - no, not the Queen Mother stupid, Egyptian ones.

However you also have to contend with the guardians why try to protect their ancient masters possessions. They wander around trying to collar one of your five men who bite the dust in a flurry of bandages.

There are five levels to the game. Each screen displays 20 boxes. As you walk about you leave a trail of delightful footsteps. Each box opens when you have walked round it completely.

You are searching for a key to escape the room and the sarcophagus of a long dead royal which you must take with you.

Every level you complete means you are faced with two extra guardians and the game becomes harder if you finish five screens and get to the next pyramid.

The treasure chests provide you with extra points and a scroll enables you to kill one mummy. Some boxes are empty and one contains a guardian which is released if you surround it.

The jolly little tune, like all jolly little tunes, becomes jolly well repetitive.

The animation and characters are excellent hut unless you play the game at fast speed and at its most difficult you'll find it rather boring. Even at speed the action will not hold your attention for long though. It's not bad, but we've yet to see the best of the Amstrad.
