Mama mia In Oh Mummy you play the role of an eminent archaeologist dressed in flat cap. overalls and boots — leading a team of four in a quest to recover five royal mummies and as much treasure as possible from some Egyptian pyramids. Everywhere you go — moving using either keyboard or joystick — you leave a trail of footprints. The passageways on the five levels of each pyramid are already clear and all you have to do is excavate the 20 rooms on each floor by walking all round the room Unfortunately there are two guardian mummies on each floor, one loose and one in an unknown room These mummies chase you until you discover the key that allows you to move to the next floor. If you manage to dig up a magic scroll you can survive one mummy attack. You can if you wish vary the speed and difficulty of play, as well as switch on or off the sound effects and background music. In fact, this is not a bad arcade game, based loosely on Arrnidar with good cartoon-style graphics and sound. Greg Pearson , Popular Computing Weekly
