Oncemore this afternoon I have more updates to serve out reguarding the unpleasantly undead aztec emperor and his tempestuous temples. the news is that while the temple hunting will continue, the services of his imperial montiness, Montizuma the first, and the Montizuma's revenge game produced by parker brothers in 1984 are no longer required!

thanks to some rather complex shinanigans with copywrites, tom ward is renaming and redesigning Montizumas return, into the glorious exploration fest hence forth known as tomb hunter volume I: mysteries of the Aztecs, ---- which will also explain the reason for the strangely south american Mota in this topics titleage.

The tomb hunter series will chronical the adventures of Doctor angela summers as she quests the world for treasures and ancient secrets. further volumes in the series will take the form of first person adventures, but this first quest will continue as a side scroller, though with redesigned levels, even more fiendish traps, extra weapons, and hosts of other surprises not dreamed of by Parker and Parker back in the good old atari days.

As well as a new title and focus, this new version of the game also axes some bugs, replaces the rolling skulls with sword wielding skeletons, and does everything that was to be expected in monti version 10 under it's new banner, you can even install it side by side with the old monti beta 9 should you wish.

as always, follow that now well worn and totally familiar trail down to the usa games site to grab it.

And if you happened to open your wallet to perchice a registration key for montizuma's revenge beta7-9, don't panic, sinse the key will also turn smoothly in the lock of your brand new mota as well.

And should you feel the overwhelming need to expound your views upon this game, an aztec forum thread awaits your opinions.

Have fun dodging the bony avengers!

With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
