January 5, 1996 -- Irvine, California -- Interplay Productions, the
international entertainment software developer and publisher, announced
today the latest title in its star-studded line-up, Mummy - Tomb Of The
Pharaoh. Created by Amazing Media, the minds behind the award-winning
Frankenstein: Through The Eyes Of The Monster, Mummy will star the

ancient Egypt," said Trish Wright, vice-president of marketing for
