Tackle the maze challenge Arcade Archives Tutankham this weekend, and enjoy modern quality of life features including a global leaderboard.
A new addition to the Arcade Archives has been unearthed. Tutankham is available now for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.
Originally issued as a cabinet in 1982, this 2-player Konami title had a distinct Indiana Jones vibe, and from memory was ridiculously difficult. You couldn’t get far off 10p – that’s how I remember it, anyway.
“Tutankham” is an action game released by KONAMI in 1982. Built 4,500 years ago, the grand pyramids have labyrinthine interiors that are said to conceal countless treasures.
Use your horizontal-firing lasers and powerful flash bombs to fight through the enemies and make your way into the depths of the pyramids!
Oddly, I’d never noticed Rick Dangerous’ similarity with Tutankham when the Amiga game arrived in 1989.
