It looks like it has a bit of every ingredient for an adventure game, not to mention fantastic terrain ideas: link link So … does it look like game-worthy material? Dan link link PS. Sadly, this scene still happens in some parts of the world:

Walking and murdering Egyptian statues? Damsels in distress? Heroes without a clue? Drunken sidekicks? Local mystic with a look of shock at what he's done? That's a game.

I have yet to see Chandu – my wife didn't set the DVR for it, and I haven't been able to find it online to watch. I have seen the serial "Return of Chandu", one of the few serials that featured what we would consider "real magic", as opposed to stage illusions like Mandrake the Magician used. But yes, from what I've seen, Chandu looks like a perfect match for any of the Pulp skirmish games.

Magic was mind control if I remember right but I also remember a Death Ray Gun and Bela Lugosi So very pulp friendly! What more would you need?
