Oh Mummy Resurrected
A downloadable game
Oh Mummy - The original game
Oh Mummy was created by a company called Gem Software in 1984. Programmed by Daren White and John Line, it was published by Amsoft, and bundled free with the Amstrad launch pack. Its simple concept and addictive gameplay made it easily accessible for any age group, giving it an enduring appeal that spans generations. But its reliance on the keyboard for menu control has restricted its availability to the classic Amstrad range. By disassembling the original game, I hope to be able to release an updated edition that will work on the GX4000, and bring this classic game to the Plus platform.

Great game, thanks.
Thanks for the video :) I've made some improvements now, including the sound so it is more like the original! Thanks again :)
First of all thanks for sharing! I've tried to play the DSK version in both Retro Virtual Machine and Caprice32 emulators but after the loading screen loads (with weird colors too), it crashes and goes back to the desktop...
Thanks, there was a bug in the DSK version of the game. I was placing the stack at the wrong address in memory. This bug has been fixed now. Thanks again! Chris
Just tested the new version but still crashes?
I tried the DSK on WinAPE and it seems to be okay here. I have reuploaded to itch it just in case it didn't update correctly
Sorry I just realised, it will crash if you are running on a normal CPC 464 or 6128. This version of Oh Mummy requires Plus emulation.
go go Chris !!! !!!
Thanks for your encouragement! I love programming on the Amstrad. It's so refreshing compared to modern systems. Thanks for your kind comments! :)
Nice game!
Thanks for making the video! I hope to change it a bit so there are extra rooms, and you can explore outside the pyramids too. But it will take a bit of work to do. Music needs improved a bit too.
