Hi Daniel, The difference between Draconis Entertainment's games and my games is that Draconis Entertainment seams to base the product key on the users name. Montezuma's Revenge uses a far more secure and safisticated means of generating the product key. Obviously I will not disclose how it

Hi Daniel, Montezuma's Revenge has a safisticated security system. It scans your system for unique identifiers and then generates a license number. You will email me that license number at the time of purchase,and I will enter your license number into my key generator which will build a key

Hi Jason, Well, I feel I need to charge for extra licenses for the fact some disreputable gamer might sign up for an extra key and then give it away to another gamer who did not pay for the game. Believe it or not this is not always that uncommon. Any security system unfortunately has its

Hi tom. there's been a lot of hagling about the Monti difficulty recently (partly I admit, by myself), and having now tried Beta 4, I have to say it feels just right! there are no inconsistant deaths, imho the death from landing thing was slightly random, but the increased damage from

Hi Dark, Glad you like the new additional difficulty in Beta 4. I found it is quite fun myself, and the game is a whole lot more challenging on any skill level you play. As for the games product keys I am still programming the necessary registration system for the game. Though, I think it will

Hi Dark, Of course the licensing business is still in early planning, but if you wanted an extra key for your laptop I am sure I could offer you a second key for it for a modest fee such as $10.00 or so. I haven't worked out the pricing and details yet, but I do want to offer multiple keys for

Hi Charles, I'm probably too nice for my own good, but actually I care. I wanted a way that the buyer can both have a locked copy to his or her computer, but be able to back up his/her security license in the event they have a system crash etc. The problem I have with end user licenses being
