Big Karnak is a 1991 Platform Game made by Spanish video game company Galeco and their first major release for arcades.Set in Ancient Egypt (presumably in Karnak?), you are a pharaoh warrior whose bride was kidnapped by rogue gods; you must travel through the Nile, Abu Simbel, and a number of locations while battling mummies, cultists and assorted wildlife before confronting several members of among the pantheon of Egyptian gods in multiple boss battles. Nope, the game doesn't really attempt to make any sense of these.Gameplay-wise, Karnak more or less resembles another Ghosts 'n Goblins clone (with some Black Tiger thrown in), albeit with an Egpytian setting. It is Gaelco's first major success, both critically and financially, before they move on to other arcade titles like Biomechanical Toy and Alligator Hunt. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Big Karnak (Video Game) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: For the most baffling of reasons, Horus, Nut, Isis and Osiris are depicted as villains here, as bosses you must defeat to retrieve your bride. Nut in particular seems to be the boss of a slave galley for some reason. | |

Our Werebeasts Are Different: Fittingly given the Egyptian setting, the second stage have a were-panther as a Mini-Boss. She assumes a Cat People form when attacking you, and if you damage her enough she momentarily turns into a human-sized panther to pounce on you. | |

Boss-Arena Idiocy | |
| Big Karnak (Video Game) / int_38d17b6c | comment |
Boss-Arena Idiocy: The giant Man-Eating Plant boss can be defeated by collapsing a platform on it, crushing it into the ground. Which is located two meters away from where it's spawned, for some reason - for the battle you just need to target it's head, tricking it into burrowing underground before using ranged attacks on the platform until it breaks. | |
