Hi,

Alright, but it would force you to go backwards in the game if you need some
more swords. That would definitely increase the complexity and you'd need
more strategy skills.

Exactly, and at the moment there has been little need to back track. 
Though, the possability has been mentioned in the manual. Here is what 
the manual says in Section 1.3 about general game play.
"Maybe you'll need to backtrack through certain chambers. Or perhaps 
forge ahead blindly.
Even test your memory to remember the location of a room you fought 
through earlier.
Just be sure to keep a cool head. Use your special tools wisely. And 
please - try
not to let greed blind you as you snatch up Montezuma's fabulous treasures."
The classic Montezuma's Revenge did offer an element of strategy when to 
use a magic amulet or when to use a sword. neither could you have allot 
of at the same time so you had to use them wizely, and if you needed one 
and ran out you had to go back and get one.
 FYI, in the USA Games version of the game the magic potions replaced 
the amulets in case you were wondering.

Also, the fact that I sometimes die right before the end of a level kind of
annoys me. I've been thinking about a system where you will be put back to
halfway through the level if you die after a certain point. That would safe
you from a lot of walking. <smile>

Yeah, but that isn't cannon for classic arcade games. As you may recall 
games like Mario Brothers, Packman, Double Dragon, etc put you back at 
the beginning of the level you didn't complete. In this way Montezuma's 
Revenge has retained it's original atari origens.
