Your archeological 'team' (i.e. five lives) is exploring a series of five pyramids. Each level has twenty boxes and at least one guardian mummy and your Egyptologist must go round each of them to find out what's inside; six will be empty, 10 will have treasures, one a scroll, one a key, one a secure Guardian Mummy and one a Royal Mummy.

You have to uncover at least the key and the Royal Mummy to get out, while avoiding the Guardians. Though once you've found the scroll, you can kill one of the Guardians, which is good practice as they follow you to the next level. Clean up the pyramid and you get either a bonus or an extra man, and move on to the next, slightly harder one.

There are five speed levels and five Guardian 'cleverness' levels which makes the game very tunable. Basically, it's a search pattern game with the Guardians making it impossible to lay down a perfect pattern. The graphics aren't all that special, but the animation is well done, especially the Guardians emerging from their tombs!

An enjoyable, if rather samey bit of nonsense.
