Hi all.
If you didn't try this game yet you can find it at www.usagames.us.
It's a very good game.
It's still a demo and the ful version is not available yet. On the website it says that it's for publick and private testing. I think it's a very good game. I didn't mannage to finish the demo yet.
Below is a description of the game from the manual.
About 25 years ago a company known as Atari put out one of the first-ever game consoles for the home user. Atari's games Packman, Space Invaders, Asteroids, etc were some of the most popular video games ever made. In 1984 Atari released one of its most popular games Montezuma's Revenge.
In the Atari classic you played Panama Joe, an explorer, exploring several underground Aztec temples looking for gold, gems, and other forms of treasure. Along the way you could find swords, whips, keys, torches, and other tools to aid you in your quest.
Now in this sequel to the classic you are Angela Smith, and you are in search of a legendary scroll presumed to be hidden in the ancient Aztec temples. Legend has it that this scroll once contained a map that would lead you to the secret hiding place of Emperor Montezuma's missing treasure. If found the treasure would be worth billions.
However, to complete your quest you must walk, climb, and jump through 10 underground temples and 4 bonus temples. You must jump over pits of fire and boiling lava. Climb ladders and ropes. Avoid several evil creatures like rolling skulls, giant spiders, and deadly snakes. Along the way gather up gems and gold as well as several tools and weapons like torches, keys, swords, whips, and more.
Like the classic Montezuma's Revenge this version is a true side-scroller. That means you will walk left and right, and climb up and down. There is no forward and backward direction as such. The audio as well as player navigation is completely 2 dimensional.
I hope you enjoy it like i did.
