Tutankham (Arcade)

This page details pre-release information and/or media for Tutankham (Arcade).

To do: Thoroughly describe these differences, and document an undumped bootleg based off what appears to be a location test.

Flyer Screenshots#

The Konami flyers feature an early build of the game that is significantly lacking in polish.

• The layouts for all four stages are very preliminary to the point that most of them bear little resemblance to their final equivalents.
• The interface is only partially complete:
  • The score counters are entirely missing.
    • The high score counter is highlighted in blue instead of red.
  • The life counter is aligned to the very right of the screen.
  • The stage number is on the left of the screen, and has no unique graphics.
  • The timer and lamp bomb are supposedly implemented at this point, although their indicators are missing here.
  • There appears to be a nonfunctional "FORCE" counter. Its purpose is unknown.
• The treasures at the end of the stage are not covered.
  • This reveals that chest was originally meant to be rewarded in the second stage.
• All stages use a palette with green walls and a blue background.
