| Curse of the Mummy | comment |
Curse of the Mummy is the 59th entry of the Fighting Fantasy series of gamebooks, and the final book to be published in the original 1982-95 run, written by Jonathan Green.You're a mercenary swordsman hired by the archeologist adventurer Jerran Farr to help him in his expedition in the Desert of Skulls. Sounds easy right? Nope... you see, long ago, when Allansia was still one continent along with Khul and the Old World, a powerful Djarat pharaoh, follower of the Snake Goddess Sithera, ruled with an iron fist and necromantic arts. Upon his assassination, he swore revenge and threatened to return from the dead, bringing along a deadly curse on the world. And good old Jerren stumbled into some red-robed cultists whose long-term plans involve finding the resting place of Akharis and resurrect their master, which would bring the above-mentioned curse over Allansia. It's up to you to find the tomb of the mummy, brave the dark maze under the sands and stop the cult before they can bring Akharis back from the dead.Curse of the Mummy is overall the standard Fighting Fantasy adventure: in addition to the three usual scores of SKILL, STAMINA and LUCK, you also have a POISON score, which starts at 0 but has a maximum limit, which makes you die if it reaches it. The plot is overall linear, making use of item-based progression and codes vital to success. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Curse of the Mummy / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: A few, and to some surprising places. The semi-deranged knight errant Don Huan Fernandez is an obvious nod to Don Quixote. The character Cranno is very similar to the character Ammon from Clash of the Titans, being a masked eccentric living out in a remote theatre with his cat. As well, the illustration of the giant cyclops accompanying section 372 looks very much to be in the style of Ray Harryhausen, who did the special effects to animate the movie's monsters. In the illustration accompanying section 149, the player's attacked by a horde of mummies. One of whom looks exactly like one of the mummy-robots from the classic Doctor Who serial "Pyramids of Mars". | |
