Count Duckula and his faithful servants Igor and Nanny have transported themselves and their castle over to the land of the Pharaohs, Egypt. There they decide to search for the mystical Sax, an ancient saxophone with strange magical powers. They know that the Sax is hidden somewhere in the tomb of the great Pharaoh Upanatem, a gigantic pyramid in the middle of the desert. What they do not know is that they have also brought along some unwanted guests in the shape of the Crow Brothers.
Duckula must explore the pyramid, solving puzzles and collecting useful items while keeping an eye out for wandering Mummies and Crows. With Igor keeping an eye on the time and Nanny keeping an eye on Duckula he must find the mystical Sax before the dawn breaks in Transylvania and the castle returns him home.
You control Duckula, you must avoid the Mummies, falling rocks and the Crow Brothers.
If you are touched by any of these then you are "frozen" and the clock advances by 1 hour.
Duckula can pick up various really useful items, if you don't want an item then Duckula must jump over it.
Duckula can carry up to 3 items. When you wish to use an item then press the keys 1, 2 or 3 to correspond with the wanted item.
THE ITEMS
Keys: Used to open doors, unless Nanny has smashed through. A key can only be used once.
The Ankh: If Duckula uses this it will put the clock back 3 hours giving more time.
There are other special items in the pyramid which can only be used in certain places. It's up to you to discover what they do!
THE CHARACTERS
Nanny: Has a habit of walking through walls? well why not? Doors are boring and she's not too bright. Fortunately this will help Duckula get about the castle.
Igor: Will feed Duckula with delicious broccoli sandwiches: Duckyboo's favourite.
The Crow Brothers: These dopey villians are climbing up the inside of the pyramid and falling down, don't let them touch Duckula.
Mummies: Avoid them, jump over them or run away.
Rocks: Watch out they hurt.
Bats: Yuk Yuk how annoying they lose you points if they touch Duckula.
Good Luck Garners
Remember:
THERE'S NO ONE ZANNIER IN TRANSYLVANIA!!!

"The loading screen is bit misleading really because the ingame graphics are poor. I recall playing this and having no idea where to go or what to do. Igor appeared every now and then but Nanny never did. Good music on the title screen though."
