From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tutankham is a 1982 arcade game developed by Konami and released by Stern in the US. This game is also known as Horror Maze on Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits for the Nintendo DS.
Tutankham was one of six games chosen to appear in the famous LIFE magazine photo-session conducted at Twin Galaxies in Ottumwa, Iowa, on November 7, 1982. The photo, which also included Donkey Kong, Tempest, Centipede, Defender and Ms. Pac-Man, featured the top video game superstars of the 1982-era, gathered for a group photograph. The Tutankham champion in the photo was Mark Robichek, of Mt. View, California. The resulting photo is considered one of the most famous in video game history and was the subject of a 2007 Sundance documentary titled Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade. Archival footage from this photograph session also appeared in another documentary film titled The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, which was released at the 2007 Slamdance Film Festival.
