Released for the Game Boy Color in 2000, The Mummy is a platformer developed by Konami.
It landed about 2 years into the GBC's life. Other notable GBC releases from 2000 include Wario Land 3, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and Grand Theft Auto 2.
It is part of the The Mummy series. The series also appears on other systems with The Mummy (PS1) and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (DS). Konami also made Metal Gear Solid, Frogger and Spawn for the GBC.
The Mummy is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to run, jump and explore
- you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
- you've played the GBC hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing The Mummy is like
Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.
Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
