Platform: Commodore 64
Gametype: Undefined
_________________________

Scarab is an adventure that takes place inside a hazard-filled pyramid. After turning into a scarab, your mission is to unravel the mysteries hidden in the ancient structure and escape with your life in tact. You have three chances to succeed. If you use them up, you'll have to start over.

In order to prevail, you must navigate narrow corridors while avoiding deadly hazards. There are patterns of enemy behavior --- bats will maneuver back and forth and crocodiles will open their mouths at certain times. There are also mummies and snakes that roam the halls and spiders that dangle on webs. When these enemies are touched, the result is instant death.

As you maneuver through the maze-like corridors, each screen represents a new room. Along the way you'll come across treasures that can be obtained. These items are used in solving puzzles. For instance, you'll obtain a staff that needs to be placed with a certain statue. When the staff is in place and the mission is complete, the adventure percentage will increase.

Scarab will end when all the puzzles have been completed or all lives have been lost. Will you find the lost treasures located in the pyramid or be mauled by a mummy?
