A classic arcade game remake

Tutankham (C64) is a remake of a 1982 arcade game developed by Konami for the Commodore 64. As a free-to-play remake of the classic retro game, you also play as a tomb raider in search of treasures from the tomb of Tutankhamun. You solve puzzles and evade monsters that guard the tomb. As an old game, remember the difficulty and how it doesn’t let you save your progress.

In terms of graphics and gameplay, Tutankham (C64) is a lot like the early 90s game Dangerous Dave. If you’re after other games for the C64, you can try Berzerk or Pillars.

An 8-bit Indiana Jones

Despite the technical restrictions of the time, Tutankham (C64) comes out as a good port that accurately recreates the original game. It has the same 8-bit graphics and the chiptune sound effects that would’ve sounded familiar to those who played the 80s video game. There are changeable difficulty settings, as well as top scores, and credits–giving you the full retro experience.

Be warned, though, as the game becomes increasingly difficult. The maze-like stages become more complex and more complicated enemies start to spawn. Killing enemies gives you points. While you can shoot guns, they are only available left and right. Enemies coming from top and bottom can freely hunt you. By hitting a certain score level, you also gain extra lives.

However, as a remake of a game file, it is not a standalone game. As a ROM file for C64, it will require a supported emulator or an actual Commodore 64 console. Additionally, the game doesn’t support a save game feature. You get to rack up points as much as you can and get listed in the top score section. It doesn’t have an endgame.

A must-try for the new generation

Tutankham (C64) is a great port of a beloved game. It perfectly retains the characteristics of an 80s arcade game such as 8-bit graphics and chiptune music. Additionally, it gives players something to get hooked to as it accustoms you to its increasingly difficult stages. Although it still suffers the same limitations as most ROM games, this is worth the extra effort in securing an emulator. Recommended.
