Hi Thomas, I always thought and believe that it is another meaning of Montezuma's Revenge, and that is that people that visit Mexico especially the first time, if they drink the water, they end up with chronic diarrhea. Still not exactly a good name for a game eh? BFN Jim No, Taco

This kind of reminds me of Shades of Doom. In many cases I've seen people shorten it to simply SOD, not knowing that it can be viewed as a cuss word in certain parts of the world, not the USA. -- Raul A. Gallegos 4 out of 3 people have trouble with fractions Twitter: http://twitter.com/rau47

Hi Michael, Mysteries of the Ancients is and will be far better than the Montezuma's Revenge game. Montezuma's Revenge was a basic side-scroller from 1984 where your goal was to gather gems for points, avoid traps, and avoid fast moving monsters. Many of the elements you find in Mysteries of the

Hi Michael, Well, there were a couple of reasons why I changed the name from Montezuma's Revenge to Montezuma's Return. One of the reasons I changed the name is that the term Montezuma's revenge is American slang for chronic diarrhea. I always thought that was a grose and disgusting name for a

Hi Dark, That's a good suggestion. I didn't even think about a download manager myself, but you are right. If Jack wants to download and play these games using a download manager might help with this. As you say the older versions of these games are rather substandard. Remember to get the setup

Hi Dark, Well, yes and no. Some developers still compress sounds, but using a higher quality format. For example, SoundRTS uses ogg for compressing sounds and speech. Philip Bennefall's games like Q9 also are compressed, but the ogg files are packed into a encrypted pak file as well. However, at

Hi Michael, There is one thing to keep in mind here. Back in early 2008 I myself didn't know too much about U.S. copyright law so was sort of cowed into giving up the game without researching it legally first. Since then I've read up on copyright law and while I'm not an expert on it I know
