Oh Mummy what a true classic game on the Amstrad CPC . It was developed by Gem Software and published by Amsoft in 1984. .The object of the game is to unveil key scroll and tomb to progress within each level of the game whilst avoiding the mummies. Each level consists of a two-dimensional board. By surrounding an area of the maze with footprints its content is revealed, which is either a scroll, a mummy, a key, a tomb or nothing at all. The scroll enables the player to kill/eat one mummy on the level. If a mummy is unveiled it follows the player to the next level. The difficulty and speed of the game increases as the player progresses through the levels.
The game is for one player only. Whilst, even at the time, it was considered simple in terms of gameplay, graphics and sound it was for many people one of the better and more addictive early offerings for the Amstrad.
The music played during gameplay is based on a children's song known as The Streets of Cairo, or the Poor Little Country Maid.
