About This Game

Originally released in 1984 for home microcomputers, this surreal game from innovative publishers Artic Computing saw players take on the role of the titular Monty, who wants nothing more than to get rich and be recognized as a hero. Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version. Contains the Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, and Commodore 64 versions.

Gameplay

Move through 40 different levels, including such bizarre environments as the Pit of Eternal Slime, the inside of a neutron accelerator, and the desolate wastes of Pithor. Dodge dangerous enemies and collect piles of gold. Once all the gold in a level has been collected, the exit to the next level will unlock.

This enhanced version introduces a number of modern features to this retro classic, including:

Saving/loading the game at any point
Support for most modern game controllers
Full control remapping
Image scaling and smoothing options

Very nice release. choose between versions, controller support and even save function. One of the first games I played and reminds me how much I suck as a gamer. Thank you for reminding me. But it was fun, welcome back monty, get yourself a coffee and we'll talk about the good old days. Please do blagger 64 next ! Signed : Sammomy, seriously sucking at games since '82.

Mutant Monty was a fun simple straightforward game where you move up, down, left and right to evade enemy presence and collecting gold nuggets until you make it to the next level but it can be frustrating and difficult at times. The Amstrad CPC and the Commodore 64 ports have the best keyboard controls and music while the ZX Spectrum is the opposite with lousy controls and repetitive music to make things drastically worse. Overall Rating: 6/10
