The Mummy, known in Japan as Hamunaptra: Ushinawareta Sabaku no Miyako (ハムナプトラ 〜失われた砂漠の都〜, Hamunaputora 〜Ushinawareta Sabaku no Miyako〜, lit. "Hamunaptra: The Capital City of the Lost Desert"), is a single-player video game for Game Boy Color, PlayStation and Microsoft Windows, based on the 1999 movie of the same name. It was published by Konami.

Dreamcast planned and advertised a version, but the version was cancelled for unknown reasons.[3] The game was followed by The Mummy Returns in 2001, The Mummy: The Animated Series in 2002, and was later followed by The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008.

Gameplay[edit]

Set in Hamunaptra, there are 15 stages. There is also a bonus stage called "Cairo". Rick O'Connell is the main game-user, and the players have to defeat enemies such as Slave Mummies and Scarab Beetles.

Reception[edit]

The PlayStation version received "mixed" reviews, while the PC version received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[7][8] David Chen of NextGen said that the former version was "a lot better than we could have expected – still not great, but not at all bad".[21] In Japan, Famitsu gave the same console version a score of 27 out of 40.[13] Nintendo Power gave the Game Boy Color version a mixed review, over a month before it was released Stateside.[22]
