Blazon Releases 'Oh Mummy' C64 Port: 1984 Amstrad Classic Gets New Life
Developer Blazon has released a faithful Commodore 64 port of Oh Mummy, the beloved 1984 Amstrad Egyptian tomb-raiding game.
One of the Amstrad CPC's most beloved games has finally made its way to the Commodore 64. Developer Blazon has released a faithful remake of Oh Mummy, the 1984 Egyptian-themed arcade game that captivated a generation of home computer gamers.
A Classic Reborn
Originally developed by Gem Software and published by Amsoft, Oh Mummy tasked players with unwrapping Egyptian tombs while avoiding deadly mummies. The simple yet addictive gameplay loop made it an instant classic on the Amstrad CPC, and now C64 owners can experience what made the game so special.
Faithful to the Original
Blazon's remake captures the essence of the original while taking advantage of the C64's capabilities. Players navigate a grid-based tomb, walking around sarcophagi to reveal their contents while dodging the ever-present mummy guardians. The tension of nearly completing a level while a mummy closes in remains as compelling as ever.
The Cross-Platform Legacy
The release continues a proud tradition of classic games finding new life on different platforms. For retro gaming enthusiasts who grew up with either the Amstrad or the C64, this remake represents a bridge between two beloved computing eras.
Oh Mummy was one of the best games from my childhood. The fun gameplay of revealing lost Egyptian treasures while avoiding deadly mummies made it an instant classic.
The Oh Mummy C64 remake is available now for download, offering both longtime fans and newcomers a chance to experience this piece of gaming history.
