The Case of the Mad Mummy is a graphical text adventure game developed by Australian company Softgold (formerly Gameworx Software), which specialised in multi-load text adventures written in BASIC. It was released as part of it's Super Sleuth Series, but it is unknown if any other games also carried that label.
It was released on the SC-3000 in 1985 by Dotsoft, exclusively in Australia. The game was also released on Commodore 64 in the same year.
Gameplay is based on the Scott Adams Standard 2-word verb-noun parser.
The main character Basil Byron is based heavily on Sherlock Holmes. Presumably, he is a recurring protagonist in the Super Sleuth Series.
