Which came first?Ninjabread Manor this orAnubis II, as all of them are practically identical - one game with three skins. Elviz (yes) swings his guitar like the Ninjabread chap swings his sword, and shoots at things using the same pointer-controlled cursor. From level structure to menus, the only real difference is in the graphics.

For a game with a musical theme, the music is very poor. Elviz jumps on drums and runs along keyboards, which could have made a nice sound but instead stay silent while generic MIDI saxamathemes warble insipidly.
