Zbigniew 'Saberman' Zielinski has again contacted us, as he has told us Normal Distribution LLC has released a PC (Demo) remake of Montezuma's Revenge giving a new lease of life to this classic game. Montezuma's Revenge was an original game from the early 80's for the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 8-bit, Apple II, ColecoVision, Commodore 64, IBM PC, Sega Master System, and ZX Spectrum. It combines treasure hunting, lots of rooms, dangerous enemies and deadly fire traps as a highly recommended classic game to play.
Here's the latest from the website . "It has been forty years in the making for the completed vision of my 1983 classic Montezuma's Revenge! The publisher reduced my original Atari computer version to fit into a cartridge. It was originally designed to run on a maximized Atari computer with a floppy drive. To do this, they removed the boss, the bat, and reduced many rooms. You guide Pedro (AKA 'Panama Joe') through the pyramid avoiding enemies like skulls, spiders and bats, while collecting treasures. You will find trampolines that will send Pedro flying and some that invoke mysterious effects on the rooms. Finally, you will have to defeat King Montezuma himself!
- This has become a totally new Montezuma Game. Nearly every room has been overhauled with amazing new features and interactive geometry. Please enjoy and share this 1 level demo!
I don't understand why the author(s) decided to make this for PC only. Could easily been a multiplatform game.
ReplyDeleteJust read the comments section on site "much depends on the success of the mainstream version. I was planning on releasing an Atari 8-bit version first, but the reality of business got in the way of plans. Hopefully, yes." So there's hope!
DeleteThat screen mockup reminds me of the old Atari 2600 and Colecovision ads where they'd put everything in the game in it.
