One more 8-bit Version. A little bit latter in the year, they released this game to the MSX. So what made this any different then the two that were already out? Well, let’s see…. OK You play as

 

Archaeologist

 

And you have to run away from

 

Mummies

 

Ok, nothing new so far. Then you have the Treasures.

 

Pharaoh's Sarcophagus 

 

The Door Key

 

A Scroll

 

Gold

 

You will need the two same one’s to get to the next room.

 

So, what did they improve on? Ok, there are some good things about this game. The first thing is the Graphics.

 

AS you can see, they used mostly the same graphics as the CPC’s version and they put the

 

Footsteps

 

Back in! I didn’t like the dots in the Spectrum. I don’t know why they even changed them. I think the Display was easier in this version. I kinda like the colors a little better too. Well, not the Archaeologist as much.

 

MSX

 

CPC

 

But at least he looks like the CPC’s one. You know, he even looks like

 

Jumpman!

 

 Why does

 

Mario

 

Seem to be in every game that needs a hero?

Any way, Out of the three versions that come out in the 1984, this would be the one I would play the most. I like the MSX and CPC versions are the best! Hope to get this game soon!
