The A - Z of Spectrum Games

Ancient Quests

Two educational arcade action games.

In KING TUT'S TREASURE, you're an archaeologist, scouring the deserts of Egypt for the keys to the famous tomb. You are equipped with a metal detector to locate buried clues but you must watch out for the hazards that appear in different parts of the desert - you only have a limited number of lives!

In THE COUNT, you are in the evil Count Dracula's Castle. You have a number of items to locate which may be found in any of the castle's dozens of rooms, and then you must escape without falling into the hands of the Count. With careful planning, you could manoeuvre the Count into a situation where sunshine will pour through the windows and turn him into a pile of dust.
