Use an extractor program such as WinZip on the PC or Stuffit
Expander on the Mac to get at the Mummy Maze files. Install the game by
double-clicking the prc file.
Use the HotSync button as usual to install the game onto your
handheld.
Now run Mummy Maze and tap the screen to play the game!
If you've got any queries about Mummy Maze or the registration process, first
check out our frequently
asked questions page on our website (you must be connected to the
internet to access this). If this doesn't help, get in touch with us at support@astraware.com. If you've got
any questions (or suggestions, we love those) about the game itself, please get
in touch with us at the email address at the top of this page.
Install and run the game on your Palm.
Tap the 'Instructions' button to get a quick reminder of what to do.
Tap the level you want to play (Easy, Average or Hard).
The explorer can only walk in straight lines vertically or horizontally, and
you must guide him to the exit without being caught by the mummy. For each move
you make the mummy will make two but he's very predictable so you can outwit him
and make your escape.
To move the explorer you can either use the hardware buttons or tap on the
square you want the explorer to walk to, if you tap on the explorer he will wait
where he is standing and the mummy will take his move.
If the mummy catches you there are four options available:
- Reset the current maze and start it again.
- Start a new game.
- See the solution to the current maze, this will then take you back to the
title screen once the solution is completed.
- Undo the last move so you can try a different move.
You can also control the explorer using the following graffiti
characters:
| Graffiti |
Action |
| Caps Shift
|
Move Up |
| Space |
Move Right |
| Backspace |
Move Left |
| i |
Move Down |
| Punctuation Shift |

If you downloaded the game straight from the internet, from Astraware's web
pages, or from one of the popular Palm download sites, then your copy is in
'Demo' form. Demo
means
that you can play 10 games for free, and then decide whether to register it or
not. After these games are up, the program will display a short message before
each game.
In Demo form, you can play 10 games of Mummy Maze for free, as you decide
whether you like it or not. After these games are up, the program will display a

If you beam a demo to someone else, and they also like the game, then
they can register it either by purchasing a copy from a local store, or by
purchasing online.
Registering Online:
For those that like the speed and convenience of buying of the internet, when
you register for the game, you'll get a key which will unlock the game and
remain valid for future 1.x upgrades. Go to the web page at http://palm.astraware.com/mummy/

Mummy Maze, and going into the menu, and selecting the 'register' option. Your
HotSync ID (or username) will be filled in for you below.
When you
register, Astraware will generate a key based on your ID, which will normally be
sent out by email within 48 hours of you registering. When you receive your key,
go to the same register option, and enter the key into the space provided.
