This is a maze/adventure/arcade style game where you wander through the tomb of the Boy King, collecting treasures as you go.

There are also a number of locked doors which must be opened with the keys that you also find, and monsters all bent on your destruction, which must be killed.

You may start in any one of the first five rooms and work your way through from there.

Tutankhamun

Your defences are a laser blade which only works from side to side, so you must watch out for the vertical pathways, and a smart bomb.

This clears the screen of all monsters, but you must be quick as they are generated immediately and, believe me, there are a lot of them.

In fact, I found that this was the only criticism I had of the game - there seems to be no end to them and therefore no real sign of victory over them.

Nevertheless, it can be done, and it is an enjoyable game.
