MAFDET and the BOOK OF THE DEAD

  This  adventure takes place  in ancient Egypt,  but don't expect  Christopher
Lee's Mummy  to be  waiting around  the corner.  The malicious  god, Seth,  has
stolen the  Book of  the Dead  and vanished  into the  underworld. Without this
book, no Egyptian can enter the afterlife when they die.
  You  take  the role  of Mafdet,  the cat  goddess entrusted  to retrieve  the
precious volume. Collecting  amulets along the  way is extremely  beneficial to
your endeavors, as some  provide extra life force,  while others are needed  to
gain  access  to previously  hidden  areas. Journeying  through  the many  drab
dungeons and mazes is made a hazardous journey because of hostile bods  wearing
Egyptian headpieces. There are  badly-animated swordfights aplenty, and  a firm
and sustained attack is the best way to make your foes disappear. Other nasties
which impede your way are flying green-winged gorgons who spew forth flames and
an annoying wasp which  follows your movements and  is very difficult to  swat.
I'm not  too sure  about the  name Mafdet,  but Polly  Morpheus would be a more
suitable name, as the long-limbed heroine has  the power to turn into a cat  in
order to help pass some obstacles.
  Sad to say, Mafdet provides  little in the way of exciting gameplay.  There's
very  little  variation  or  challenge in  the  adventure.  However,  the lurid
graphics are one  of the best  things about the  game, as the  garish green and
yellow hues used certainly make the game stand out. A game for those who aren't
particularly bothered about the trivialities of dull and bog-standard gameplay.
