Montezuma's Revenge News
Hello gamers, USA Games Interactive would like to make our customers of Montezuma's Revenge aware of some late breaking changes involving Montezuma's Revenge. As of December 1, 2007 USA Games will be renaming Montezuma's Revenge to Montezuma's Return. The new version of Monte will be very similar to the classic Montezuma's Revenge though it will have some differences which will allow USA Games to copyright the game as an original work. Changes included in the new version will be as described below. First, we at USA Games felt the game should be given a new name. We could site many reasons that brought us to this decision, but the one that really stands out is the game has already been legally copyrighted under that name in 1984. Second, a good number of gamers really expressed interest in playing the game using our former character Angela. We also feel this is a good idea. Not only does it make the game a bit different from the original, but we liked her character our selves. We have hand picked all new effects for Angela, and she has already been placed into the game. Third, from the beginning of its development Monte hasn't exactly been purely designed on a one to one comparison with the classic. For example, in our version magic potions are used rather than magic amulets. The difference in their use is miner, but it does stand out as a difference between the two games. in addition when it came to building the levels into an accessible format we at USA Games used our poetic license to alter them some to provide maximum accessibility or added a trap here or there to make the game more challenging or fun. In the end I personally don't think our version of Montezuma's Revenge has stayed true to Montezuma's Revenge. However, since this version is a vastly updated and perhaps even improved version I think it can be built around the idea of a sequel where the main character isn't Panama Joe but some other hero or heroin following the same or similar adventure. Thus Montezuma's Return. As of Nov. 23, 2007 USA Games has finally introduced the ability to register the game using a product key. This is a major step forward for us as we will be able to ship product keys to pre-ordered customers fairly soon. We wish you all a happy holiday, and hope to have 1.0 ready with in the month. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
