Tutankham arcade
About the Game
You are Dr. Harold Carver, famous professor and archeologist on a quest to retrieve the secret treasures of King Tutankhamun from the ruins of ancient Egypt!
Use your map to make your way through the twisting catacombs to collect treasures and find the keys to unlock doorways that ultimately lead to the tomb of King Tut himself!
Along the way you must use your laser gun to fend off the attacks of the creatures that defend the pyramid from looters, including snakes, bats, vultures and dragons.
Do you have the skills to complete all 100 stages and and your name to the list of Great Explorers?
GOOD LUCK!
