Montezuma's Revenge

First played this on the Colecovision and later on on the Commodore 64 way back when it first came out 83/84? I thought it was one of the best games around at the time extremely well done memorized the whole thing 'cause I played it so much. The controls in this are very well done I believe the game might have been slowed down slightly for modern analog sticks. There's global leaderboards and possibly other features coming soon. The game is basically a platform game like Donkey Kong, Jumpman and Atari’s Pitfall. The cool thing back then was the level design which would take you several attempts to figure out in order to complete the game. The puzzle aspect of it is discovering various colored keys that open their respective doors as well as finding (but not required) a valuable torch to light your way the deeper you go. Once you reached the final level down below, you'll know you've beaten the game and start all over with a slightly more difficult path (more darker levels which m...

I was as excited as anyone when I saw this game's store page, and it was an immediate buy. And i really wish I could post a positive review. Graphics, sound, and controls are all top notch, and the love and attention this game got are obvious, but there is a FATAL FLAW in the game design: There is only ONE continue. Not having the coordination skills I had 40 years ago, the game became an exercise in frustration very quickly. With the super sensitive placement of"Pedro" and the extremely precise jumping required, I used up all my lives rapidly. That turned the game into nothing more than an exercise in frustration and futility ---- and, therefore, a major disappointment since it is now just annoying, and zero fun. So, for me, and I suspect quite a few others that got this game hoping for a positive retro experience, the game is a complete failure. Who wants to play the same few levels at the first of the game over and over and endure constant frustration just because the developers c...

This game takes me back. This was one of my favorites that I had back in the 80's on the Apple //e on a 5.25 inch floppy disk lol. I used to play this like crazy on a monochrome Apple Monitor III green monitor long before I got the RF color adapter for my system to play on a regular TV or monitor and seeing it then in color. Wow...those were the days. Back then, I was using a joystick to play the game instead of using a keyboard. The keyboard controls are basic and responsive but takes a little getting used to for some areas of the levels. I haven't tried the game yet with a controller to see if it would work or not but so far, it's quite playable and I'd recommend the advanced graphics over the retro look. For the nostalgia factor for me, it's a keeper. 04/Dec/2020 Edit: I've tried the game with a controller and it works well too. Logitech Sony PS2 style USB game pads, generic USB styled game pads (Just make sure it's plugged in before starting the game.) I do have some tak...

Even with "Retro" turned on (which you will want to do immediately), this is still not quite the same game that I had on my Apple ][ in the good old days. Which is a good thing, as the slightly adjusted game systems prevent more "stupid deaths" without actually making the game, per se, easier. Wholeheartedly recommended to retro gamers, still a nice diversion for you kids these days. And the price point's irresistible.

A piece of art. A masterpiece. Timeless. The real essence of gaming. There are no words that can truly describe Montezuma's Revenge. This is the game that every gamer should try for real, at least once in life.

[h3]Reviewing this as someone who played it on the Atari 8-bit computers almost 40 years ago.[/h3] [b]Short summary:[/b] Game is good, not much different from the original. Not just emulation of an old computer port, everything has been redone here. Minor gameplay / quality of life changes, a few updated sounds and effects. Compatible with Steam Deck and there are 9 Achievements for passing each of the levels. Don't bother with the updated graphics. They aren't great to begin with and the re-skinning of the game is distracting and makes positioning / timing jumps much more difficult. The screen scrolling makes it way harder than it already is as well, I'd leave that off. [b]More detailed review for specific differences:[/b] [u]Graphical / Sound Changes:[/u] [list] [*]Most objects in the game have been tastefully redrawn and recolored (Pedro, enemies, conveyor belts, pickups, etc). [*]Snakes now rotate to face you [*]Doors have a couple frames of opening animation instead of in...

This game won't work on my computer. When I launch the game I get the sound, but just a black screen

So this is an old platformer from the 80s. Do not expect revolutionary mechanics. I used to play this on an ATARI and I love the experience of the retro mode. The modern mode adds side-scrolling which makes the game less static. There is no vertical scroll for some reason. The spider enemy looks terrifying, the skull is neat and the snake is ok. The player character is awful and breaks the experience. You really can't put this into a game in year 2020. The retro mode has some interesting differences from the original version. In the 1983 original there was some clipping so that a small part of the character model could be inside the chain without this resulting in death. The hitbox has been corrected in this version, however. Also there appear to be been some additions that I have not completely reviewed yet. Overall, I am happy to own this version of the game.

Cool remake :) Avoid new version - it's just horrible, both: graphics and sounds - bleeeh :( Set classic version and enjoy the game like in old days :)))

[h1]1983 is long ago...[/h1] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3217755351 Oh god. I remember as i played Montezumas Revenge back on my C64 when i was like 8 years old. I never got far and it was to hard for me as little-boy-me. It still is a hard game, trust me there, but it sure is easier if you understand how sometimes "less can be more" and in this case, Montezumas Revenge shows that perfectly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QogDK6gmAsc [h1]THE "based" Metroidvania[/h1] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3217755215 For a lot people, there are different aspects what counts as metroidvania and what not. Some people would sure say that Montezuma might "counts" as such game but is very bare bones and "based" in that if you really think about a metroidvania-styled "game". I would not really call said game here a Metroidvania tbh but i can understand if people do so, never the less, it is a hard game and very easy to pick up and play but har...
