It’s not often that I’d have high expectations for a game
based off of a somewhat forgettable 90’s film, least of all one on a handheld
system, but there was something about the Game Boy Color’s The Mummy that made
it look very, very promising. The Konami logo on the box was enough to catch my
attention initially, but this wasn’t just any Konami game, but an 8-bit, 2D,
horror themed Konami game, and historically when you put those things together very
good things happen. It was enough to get me excited and I couldn’t help but
wonder if The Mummy was actually a thinly veiled tribute to the classic
Castlevania series.
