Oh Mummy is a computer game for the Amstrad CPC models of computer. It was developed by Amsoft and released in 1984. It was often included in the free bundles of software that came with the computer. The object of the game was to unveil all of the treasure within each level of (or pyramid) of the game whilst avoiding the mummies. Each level generally looked the same, a two-dimensional board. In contrast with Pacman as the player walked around footprints were left behind to see where they had been. By completing a square its content was revealed. There would either be a scroll, a mummy, a key, a tomb or nothing at all. In order to complete a level it was necessary to unveil the key and a tombstone. The scroll would enable you to kill/eat one mummy on the level. If a mummy was unveiled it would follow you to the next level. The difficulty and speed of the game increased as the player progressed through the levels. The game was for one player only and whilst it was simple in terms of gameplay, graphics and sound it was for many people one of the better and more addictive early offerings that comprised the system's bundle. The game was also released for the ZX Spectrum and was given away as part of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum +2 pack, which also included Crazy Golf, Alien Destroyer, Punchy, Treasure Island and Disco Dan.
