Montezuma's Revenge glitch

[sloth713]

Has anyone else ever noticed that in Montezuma's Revenge if you have 4 item in your inventory you cant pick up the precious point scoring jewels?

 

I always like games that push the 2600 to it limits while having no flicker.

I thought it was made that way on purpose, and yes, it's a great game.

I don't think that's a glitch. I'm pretty sure the CV and 5200 versions do the same thng if your inventory is filled. It's been awhile since I fired up MR on any system but I think that's just the way the game is.

I think that's intended. I believe you can only carry 4 items (or is it 5?) at a time, so that you have to plan which items to pick up and use in a certain sequence. The sword and the keys go away after you use them, so that frees up space to pick up treasure later.
