That's not the point. We're not after realism here. Monty is a game of reflexes, memory and discovery. It's not meant to be realistic. Those of us who bought Monty and have been waiting for it for so long wouldn't be thrilled if it was changed into a 3d game, It might very well turn out to be an excellent game, but it just wouldn't be a conversion of the classic 1984 game of Montezuma's Revenge. There comes a point where adding new features wrecks the game or changes it so drastically that it no longer even remotely resembles the original. You're then talking about a whole different game.
