MYSTERY OF THE MUMMY!
The date is the 14th of April 1912, a sunny Sunday morning.
The place is Hamburg, the most important port of the whole
German empire. We are in our private quarters at the
"Inter-Hotel":
"Nice weather here! We're lucky with our holiday!"
Wilhelm, the devoted driver and comrade with the round face
and cunningly shining eyes, remarks:
"What luxury! First I'll have a bath, then a rest, and
after lunch I will visit an exhibition. Tonight I will
attend a concert." The shrill ringing of the telephone
wakes Wilhelm from his dreams. The porter is on the line, a
Mr. Rabensberg urgently wants to speak with us.
"Well.., if it doesn't take too long he can come up."
Morosely, Wilhelm puts down the receiver with more force
than is necessary. A few minutes later a portly man, who
looks approximately fifty years old, enters the room.
Out of his bloated face two strangely glistening eyes look
at us with curiosity He seats himself down, waiting in vain
for us to pour him a drink. Then, after a pause, he begins
his narration....
"Gentlemen, please do not be offended by my intrusion, but
it is of great importance to me that I see you. It all
began on the 12th of June, 1884 when an expedition to
Cameroon began to explore the inner countries of our new
colonies and to search for old African cultures. This
expedition was led by the world-famous Professor Gravelius.
My father was a scientific collaborator on this expedition.
"On the 17th of August the two-master, Prince Albert',
sailed into the port of Duala. A few days later the group,
consisting of 20 German men and 50 local bearers, was on
it's way to the lake Dierem, situated 400 kilometres to the
west. Until then this district was known only by the local,
orally-spread tales. Thus the German government had given
orders to explore and record it cartographically.
"During the journey Professor Gravelius discovered a
cave-grave containing a mummy. The professor took the
mummy, intending to give it to the Institute of Ethnology
in Hamburg for the public to see. However, the local
bearers refused to carry it as they were afraid of arousing
the Wrath of the Gods. It took much time to persuade them
to take the mummy to the port.
"However, the apprehensions of the Bearers proved not to be
totally unfounded when, sometime later, several members of
the expedition fell ill with malaria and had to return to
Germany Professor Gravelius also fell ill. He conferred the
control of the expedition to my father and instructed him
to take the mummy to Germany.
"Shortly after his return to Hamburg my father met with the
Director of the Egyptian Museum of Berlin, who was planning
a special exhibition. He asked my father to lend him the
mummy for the duration of the exhibition. Knowing that the
exhibition would last for two months only, my father
consented to the wishes of his colleague.
"Unfortunately the mummy, along with several other
exhibits, was stolen shortly before the close of the
exhibition. Although the mummies material worth was
comparably small, my father never recovered from this blow.
Only a collector would be interested in that mummy.
"Yesterday I discovered an announcement in the newspaper
'Hamburger Morgenbote' from the Ammerman & Co. Auction
House declaring that an important African mummy is to be
put up for auction. I have come to beg you to discover if
this is my father's mummy. I will pay you, in advance, the
sum of 100 Reichmarks!" After a pause I spoke:
"I still have a question, Mr. Rabensberg. Why do you call
on us? We are a lawyer's office, not a private detective's
office!"
"I know that, sir, but I am of the opinion that the case
should rest in your hands - I heard of your great success
with the Weisgerber case."
Wilhelm's anger begins slowly to rise with the presence of
this obtrusive guest. He thinks about the slowly-cooling
water in the bath-tub...
"Why don't you take the case into your own hands as you are
so convinced of it's banality?"
"Gentlemen, you are both aware that my interest lies in
this mummy only as a keepsake for my Father, irrespective
of it's small value. Therefore I beg you to act as my
negotiator at the forthcoming auction. Your first task
would be to find out if this mummy is the one I search for.
Please do as I ask and inform me as to the result of your
investigations!"
"Very well", we answer with resignation, "but we must go to
Munich on Thursday The auction will begin earlier. If
anything is settled, we will inform you in time"....
GENERAL INFORMATION
Mystery of the Mummy! is a complex, German
criminal-adventure. The program is totally controlled with
the menu. The following items are all part of the program:
Disks
1 map of Hamburg
1 telephone and address book include a set of instructions
Due to the mass of data involved, which is necessary for
this game, it may sometimes be necessary to reload the
program. You may save a game at any point if wanted. You do
not need to start from the beginning each time.
INTRODUCTION
The background story of the 'Mystery of the Mummy!' takes
place in Hamburg, the most famous port of the German
empire, in the year 1912. The harbour surroundings and the
atmospheric and cultural sceneries are all a reflection of
this fascinating city And this is where the crime took
place - the crime which you must solve! The game gives you
several aids to help you unravel the mystery:
- For your support there is Wilhelm, your chauffeur. He
will safely take you to the 186 places in the city
- In your hotel room you may use the telephone with which
you can gain valuable information.
- Several restaurants provide you with the pleasures in
life.
Explore Hamburg!
You have five exciting days!
Beside the "normal" adventure there are several
action-sequences which bring about some changes in the
game. For example; you have to salvage important exhibits
from the bottom of the lake; you can also play around in a
laboratory; you get information regarding criminological
exhibits (blood and poison proofs etc.) in the library You
will find the necessary chemicals in the chemist's shop...
GAME PREPARATIONS

with addresses and, where appropriate, the telephone
number. To get to the chosen place you need only input the
appropriate number of the house, shop, building,
institution etc..

THE GAME
It is Sunday, 14th April 1912, around 9.00 a.m.. We are in
our hotel room near the Alster, together with our friend
and chauffeur, Wilhelm. A certain Mr. Rabensberg wants us
to find out more about a special mummy. The Sunday issue of
the 'Hamburger Morgenpost' contains a very interesting
article. It tells us that there is a mysterious secret
surrounding this mummy. It also becomes clear that other
people are extremely interested in this mummy. The
following days bring an exciting development in the form of
a crime. This requires caution and all the resources that
you have at your disposal. You have until Thursday evening,
6.00 p.m., to solve this crime!
Then you must meet with Mr. Rabensberg again. Commissioner
Vantkin will also be present and he will ask you 16
questions which you must answer referring to statements and
proofs. (See "End of the Game").
SPECIAL AREAS IN THE GAME
DIVING
In this exciting sequence with superb sound you plunge into
the freezing cold waters of the Alster, where two important
exhibits are thought to be lying. For diving you need
special clothes which you can find in the city. Under water
you must escape the dangers and find the exhibits.
IN THE LABORATORY
You can experiment in the laboratory to obtain 'proofs'.
You must find out the corresponding ways of experimentation
in the library. You find the necessary chemicals in the
chemist's shop in the city. When you have all you need, go
to the laboratory... you are on your way!
FURTHER SPECIAL AREAS
As well as the above mentioned 'special areas', there are
other interesting places all over the city (for example;
you can visit the opera, or listen to Konrad Roentgen's
explanation about the mummy...). Further information can be
obtained with the help of Detective 'Luchs'. With him you
can observe every building - you receive an observation
report from him the next day. Don't forget the 'Hamburger
Morgenpost' newspaper which appears each morning.
END OF THE GAME
At the latest at 6:00 pm on thursday evening you must visit
Mr. Rabensberg's. Commissioner Vantkin will be there and
will ask you 16 questions which you must answer. You can
answer in any of the following ways:
a) Show statements in your notebook
b) Show objects
c) Mention names
