About the only thing he had wrong was that it isn't Lucas Arts but Parker Brothers who holds the copyrights to Montezuma's Revenge. The Lucas Arts thing was in reference to the Star Wars game Thomas was considering. Parker Brothers or one of their affiliates were the ones who contacted Thomas about Monte. Either that or he contacted them himself, asked for and was denied permission to use the title. And then if I'm not mistaken a smaller, independent developer also contacted him. The way I understand it is he had to change it from Revenge to Return due to Parker Brothers' holding the rights to that title. And that was when another, smaller developer contacted him to say that he couldn't use the title Return either. That ultimately was what led to MOTA. Nichol was right in that Thomas did ask those of us who had Betas of that game to avoid distributing it since it could land him in legal trouble with that other developer even if not also with Parker Brothers themselves. All I can say is I can only imagine how frustrating and emotionally draining this whole business has been for him.

Hi Burak
I am not tom, but I will try to answer.
AS far as I understand, tom has been forbidden by lucas arts to develop
montizuma's revenge or montizuma's return.
That is why tom now creates mysteries of the ancients.
And for those  of us who have betas of the montizuma's  return game Tom
started to develop earlier, as far as I understand, tom has asked us not to
distribute these as this will also cause Lukas arts to throw tom in hot
water.
Hope this cleared things up for you.
