    Okay, this is driving me mad. I had three games back in the early '80s that I cannot, for the life of me, remember the names of.

    The first one was a sarcophagus with a series of holes on the lid. You had to plug little blue ankhs into each hole, but if you chose the wrong one, the mummy, sleeping inside, would pop his head out of the top. So scary.

    Okay, the second game worked on a similar premise, but this time you were plugging two yellow pegs, connected by a gold chain, across a giant gorilla (think King Kong). Again, if you chose the wrong hole, something bad would happen, that being the gorilla would raise his arms, breaking free of his bonds.

    Lastly, there was some sort of vampire-based game where you had to stick your finger in a vampire's mouth (I think) and he had this set of fangs whose ends were tipped with felt markers complete with red ink, so if they made contact with your finger, it would look like you were bitten. To be honest, I'm not sure that it was even a vampire's mouth you stuck your finger in, but that's the only thing that makes sense with the teeth.

    Do any of you remember any of these games? Please, help.

      That's the Dracula game! Wow, I'm not sure that I would have ever found that without your help . . . As for the mummy game, no, the one I had was a small-ish golden, plastic sarcophagus and the top of the lid would pop open and reveal a mummy head that looked sort of like a skull. If I do manage to find it, I'll post here. :)

      Thanks again!
