Mummy’s Curse

The _Mummy’s Curse_ is an early color adventure game using a VERB NOUN parser,
and features several animated sequences. The goal is to recover the solid goal
death mask of King Ruttatuttut, which is guarded by the Mummy.

The player starts at a small oasis in the Sahara desert, which must be
returned to regularly, as the player can rapidly die of thirst while exploring
the desert. Later in the game, the player discovers a magical ewer, which
remains filled with water. During the game, three magical amulets are
discovered which grant skills needed to overcome the Mummy’s tomb: Horus which
gives great strength, Apep which overcomes guardian snakes, and Sma which
grants the ability to hold breath. The player initially must explore a desert
town, the Pyramid of Satsop II, and Cleopatra’s tomb to gather amulets. Then,
they need to build a raft to cross the Nile to enter the eponymous Mummy’s
tomb.

In the Mummy’s tomb, the player must overcome various traps to discover a
magic scepter. The Mummy is finally revealed, and the player obtains the death
mask of King Ruttatuttut.
