Tutankham

Tutankham Gameplay.

In this game, you play an explorer who searches through King Tut’s tomb to find his treasures while fighting off various creatures who guard the tomb as you find your way through the catacombs.

The game has four different stages where you must help the explorer find four different treasures including a map, an urn, a chest of gold and jewels and finally the golden death mask. The game has rather spooky, Egyptian-style background music.

You must guide the explorer through the maze of each stage. There are several different creatures who constantly materialize from random areas of the maze and attack including asps, vultures, parrots, bats, dragons and curses. Those creatures can be destroyed to score 20, 40 and even 60 points with bullets or a “flash bomb” which destroys all enemies on the screen. “flash bombs” can only be used once per stage or each of them can be used for later stages.
