Our take on Montezuma's Revenge
The game combines platforming with puzzle solving and item-gated movement. Its structure centers on traversing a hazardous underground labyrinth, collecting keys and objects, and reaching a treasure room rather than following a conventional linear action-platformer route.
What is Montezuma's Revenge?
Explore an underground Aztec pyramid in this reboot of a classic action-platformer by its original developer.
Traverse rooms, stairs, and ropes while gathering keys to open doors. Jewels, swords, and a torch are scattered through the labyrinth, alongside dangers such as snakes, skulls, and spiders. The goal is to reach the pyramid’s hidden treasure chamber after crossing its subterranean maze. The reboot keeps the main features of the original Atari game and introduces additional improvements.
