[edit] Trivia

This is not the first game to sport the title Mystery Of The Mummy. The first game to do so was another adventure game with a very similar plot and gameplay released on the 16-bit computer formats in the late 1980s. It was set in the early twentieth century and was itself heavily influenced by the Sherlock Holmes stories, although it actually starred an unnamed German amateur sleuth and his sidekick.
