    Huh. That's interesting - PS2 era Zelda-ish platformer Sphinx and The Cursed Mummy (currently on sale) just got a big remaster-type update. It's 75% off. store.steampowered.com/app/606710/S... Also it just recently got a huge fan-made expansion??? The one and only mod for the game, but it's BIG.

    You actually lose/gain health in increments of 32. They could definitely have used a much simpler system, but what I'm guessing is that they simply re-used a health system from a previous game. Probably Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy.

    PS4 trophies for the PS2-era game Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy have surfaced: www.exophase.com/game/sphinx-... There was a Switch and PC HD port in 2019, so it is currently unclear if this is a PS2 emulated release or a port of the 2019 version.

    Today is the twentieth anniversary of Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, and this is still one of the best depictions of Anubis in any video game. Most games do a disservice to Anubis, but not this aged gem.

    Game 203: Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy An action-adventure game with two very distinct playable characters, one of them focused on combat and exploration, and the other being all about solving puzzles. It makes excellent use of the Egyptian setting, with a vast, well-designed world to be explored.

    Pretty huge amount of options. But it's probably Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy on Gamecube. Turok Evolution is about on par with it tho, because that game is fundamentally broken on the cube. Borderline unplayable without a cheat code.

    Post a game you remember playing but nobody else remembers: Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. I had this for PS2 as a kid. Played it again a couple years ago, and it's a solid action adventure game. Plus it has a fantasy ancient Egypt setting which you don't see very often. I recommend it! #blutoid

    Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. A Zelda-like adventure game released back in 2003. The copy I’m playing is on the PS2 but I recommend the remastered versions on pc or modern consoles since it’s smoother and fixes some infamous glitches. It’s cheap and easy to purchase and I recommend trying it.

    8. Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is the best spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie. While the game is more similar to Legend of Zelda at first, but the gameplay, puzzle solving, characters & story falls more in line with how Banjo-Kazooie plays out. Especially with how our main leads work together!

Shadow Of The Colossus, God Of War, Prince of Persia, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, all of these being influences, along with modern titles like fromsoft’s games and Nier:Automata.

    Trying to play the PC port of Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, but control issues keep getting in my way. X button pauses, Circle button jumps, and the left analog stick opens the inventory in a way that interferes with the first platforming section in the game.

    Playing through Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. It has a clever idea: the mummy is immortal, so traps are actually good. Like fall into a crushing trap to fit in a narrow gap. Unfortunately, that's a small percentage of the game. It would be cool if there was a game made entirely around that concept.

    Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy still holds up! I think it’s the only game I ever bought in a grocery store that was stand-alone and not inside a cereal box like Roller Coaster Tycoon. Oddly, there were racks of overstock of this game on Playstation 2 in an IGA grocery store that never normally carried games. This Eurocom budget title became one of my favorites. I replay this on PC more often than most of my childhood games strangely enough.
