Name the game

Hi, Atari fans. The game I'm looking for is a top view, maze/labyrinth, shooter kind of game. Kind of similar to Tutankham. I remember you were walking in a scrolling maze. There were monsters walking in the maze.

You had a laser beam and when you hit a monster with it, the monster shrank and flew off the screen. When you walked into a monster, it took away more than half of your energy and teleported you back at the start. You could pick up rings and gems to replenish your energy.

There also were keys. As I recall you could carry only one key at a time and it showed behind your back as you walked. Keys opened some kind of doors which didn't lead to anywhere, but instead displayed some stupid pictures like a shield or a sword.

Anyhow, despite it's weirdness, the game fascinated me a great deal back then -- I was a little kid. Any help appreciated.

King Tut's Tomb perhaps?

Sorry, no. That one as I recall was vertically scrolling, or perhaps even had bidirectional scrolling.

Yes, it does match the description.

Is that the one?

Hey, that's cool! Except without the screenshots I can't really tell. And the download button doesn't seem to be working. If you are planning to upload it, take your time. I am in no hurry :)

I've added a single (temporary) screenshot of the start of the game.

Is this the one you meant?
