The Mummy, known in Japan as Hamunaptra: Ushinawareta Sabaku no Miyako (ハムナプトラ 〜失われた砂漠の都〜, Hamunaputora 〜Ushinawareta Sabaku no Miyako〜, lit. "Hamunaptra: The Capital City of the Lost Desert"), is a single-player video game for Game Boy Color, PlayStation and Microsoft Windows, based on the 1999 movie of the same name. It was published by Konami.

Dreamcast planned and advertised a version, but the version was cancelled for unknown reasons.[3][4] The game was followed by The Mummy Returns in 2001, The Mummy: The Animated Series in 2002, and was later followed by The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008.

Gameplay

Set in Hamunaptra, there are 15 stages. There is also a bonus stage called "Cairo". Rick O'Connell is the main game-user, and the players have to defeat enemies such as Slave Mummies and Scarab Beetles.
