Play The Mummy Online

I picked up The Mummy for the Game Boy Advance back in 2002, a time when movie tie-ins were a regular sight on the handheld. Konami published this one, and it felt like a familiar kind of adventure for the system, the sort of game you'd play through in a weekend. It was based on the 1999 film, but it carved its own path rather than just retelling the story.

You control Rick O'Connell, exploring ancient tombs and fighting off undead creatures. The main goal is to stop the mummy Imhotep from unleashing his plague upon the world. You move through the game screen by screen, using a sword for close combat and a pistol for ranged attacks. A key part of the gameplay is finding and using various artifacts to solve puzzles and unlock new areas. The pacing is fairly quick, though some sections can be tricky with their enemy placement and platforming. It feels like a straightforward action platformer that keeps you moving from one challenge to the next.
