Hi Josh, Not really. The thing here is that they would end up being two completely different games, and the only thing that the text adventure would have in common with its audio game counterpart is the basic storyline. Other than that they would end up being vastly different games.
To explain the thing about Montezuma's Revenge, like most arcade games, is that it relies heavily on fast action, decision making, and relies on avoiding things such as jumping over rolling skulls, snakes, spiders, and various traps. If you lose that element of jumping over things the game loses a lot of replay value as well as the primary mechanic of the game. Something that would have to be replaced with something else in a turn-based text adventure mode which wouldn't be the same at all. Plus Montezuma's Revenge wasn't ever about combat to begin with. While you could obtain swords by finding them in various places they would vanish after you used them. Meaning you had to mostly rely on your skill and your wits to avoid enemies rather than rely on a sword to kill them. That would never work in a turn-based text adventure where there is little to no way to avoid enemies by jumping over or ducking under them rather than fighting them outright. So that aspect would have to change to suit the turn-based play which would ruin the game. Cheers!
