Since getting my Tutankham PCB up and running I've played to level 16 twice using 256 men dip setting. with all the prizes that comes to about 360k.

I see Dwayne R and Rob M were getting in the 500k range by level 16.

1- How do you point press Tutankham?
2- Anyone know of video links showing master level play?

3- Edit- firing ability ends when the timer hits zero.
4- every 16 seconds a swarm of enemies happens.

This game always eluded me at mastering. I've gotten kill screen on DK, can roll waves on Robotron, and play Joust for as long as I feel like sitting at the game. but i've always sucked at Tut. What the heck is the secret to this frustratingly addictive game?
I've hit 50k/level 4 on regular play from the real PCB.

I own this game and feel your pain, it is a tough and fun game. I have not had the time to master this game either. But I will!

I was looking at all of my games today and realized, I have some sort of swag or additional topper or something on each game I own except Tutankham. Any thoughts on a topper? I was thinking of trying to blow up the explorer and getting that printed out and then mounting on something... Great game, but not a lot of "extras." Any thoughts?

Here's mine. It could be my imagination, but wearing the Pith Helmet makes me play better.

The helmet looks like it was made for the game. Can't think of anything better.

I just learned something yesterday.

All these years. I mean ALL these years going back to 82 I thought the character on the first level was a hunched over zombie. and when it moved it kinda skulked up and down.

It's a freakin' bird! oi vay. Now that I realize it's a bird I don't know how i ever perceived it was a hunchback zombie. geesh.
