Inside King Tut's tomb are treasures beyond your wildest dreams.
They can be yours ... if you dare to take them.
Supernatural creatures roam the chambers of the tomb guarding the
treasures at all costs. Your only defenses against them are your laser gun
and... your wits. Blast away, snatch the loot , escape through secret
passageways before it's too late! And when you see a key, take that, too.
It will unlock a door to the next burial chamber and the next adventure.
Enter King Tut's tomb and see what awaits you... if you dare.

Helpful hint: activate the "flash bomb": press both fire buttons at the same time

OK an improvement in my score - 97364
I hate the 'move in a direction - keep going in that direction' until joystick position is changed... lost many lives because of this...

maybe if I sent yurkie(?) a few joysticks I would do better!!!


As far as a next game challenge... has any game NOT been played yet (original release)?

If a homebrew is selected - can everyone play?

There are many original release games unplayed - for example: Beamrider, Wing War, The Quest for Tires games, Super Cobra, 2010, Destructor, Jungle Hunt, Star Wars...

Please, send me a Private Message if you want to play a special game!

The average number of HSC-players is pretty low at the moment, even for the "two-week-mode".
The first hombrew-special round wasn't a success, and the first regular hombrew-challenge (Ms. Pac-Man/HSC2) was not much better.
And i am thinking about a step down from the moderator-job in 2010.

You do a great job of running the Colecovision high score club!
You keep it updated, well organized, and nice and neat.
It would be a shame to see you leave. Hopefully some of the people who used to play can find some time to play and post a score.


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all from the roadrunner
