THE STORY

he Sanders-Hardi man expedition has just returned to
Europe after a fruitful voyage through South America .
Whilst on their trip, the explorers discovered many Inca
tombs . One of these tombs contained the mysterious mummy
of the Inca Ha scar Capac, which the explorers decided to bring
back to Europe! Their amazing adventure starts to turn sour,
when four out of the seven explorers on the expedition sud¬
denly come down with a mystery illness . Worried about the
“curse," Tintin tries to f ind the fast three explorers, who have
so far been spared the ravages of the sickness . One of them,
Professor Tarragon, explains to him that the cause may well
be the mummy that the explorers had brought back . Tintin is
determined to solve the mystery, particularly after an addi¬
tional incident occurs: Professor Calculus is kidnapped!

What's up with all of the SNES manuals? I mean the SNES is a classic and great system, but seriously. I don't mind seeing them though. I might check this game out regardless, looks obscure!
