TUTANKHAM

Game Info
Tutankham is an arcade action game played from a top down point of view. You are an explorer in King Tut's tomb on a mission to retrieve as many of the valuable treasures as you can find. In addition to the treasures, you will also find a key in each of the chambers. This is needed in order to unlock the entrance to the next, more difficult chamber. Be careful, for the tomb is guarded by many dangerous creatures! Cobras, bats, scorpions, and more all appear in the maze and will cause you to lose a life if you're caught! To defend yourself you are armed with a laser gun which you can fire left or right, but not up or down. In each of the mazes you are also give one "flash" which can be used to destroy all creatures currently on the screen.

40,952 for me.

[ten-four]

Hi...

ten-four has this hi-score : 64.736

[Mister VCS]

86,284
The control and the scrolling is a little bit...strange. I prefer the Atari VCS 2600 version of this game.
We could play this game through the Colecovision Atari converter .

Yeah, it's done. I've just been busy with overtime at work and lost track of the days. I'll get the new one up tonight.

Can you tell us the game - I normally only get to play once or twice a week and today is one of those rare occasions.

Thanks

Let's go with Mr. Do!'s Castle for the next game. I've been wanting to do that one for awile.

[darthkur]

Well, I've got a fairly good score on Mr. Do's Castle but no where to post it.
