fakecortex Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I've always enjoyed this game. Anyone else end up accidentally going down when you mean to go right? Probably the 8-way d-pad, not me of course lol. Workin' on a personal best to submit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I'm guessing our high score has to be when we get our first game over, right? Because it allows you to continue once after that with a reset score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) I've been having a lot of fun returning to this game for a serious high score. I mapped out the first level, which is something I'm surprised I didn't do as a kid. My current high score is 91,450. But it kind of looks like 81,450 and I'm starting to second guess myself. I took a pic outside the treasure chamber and one afterwards at the start of level 2. I only gained 2 more lives from those points, meaning 1 for hitting 70k and one at 80k. Moderator's choice on this, and I'll try to get a shot comparing the 8 to a 9. Anyway, I had to stop there bc I was leaving for the day, but for future scores- would the high score continue into future levels or are we competing for just level 1 score? I figure it's until we get a game over, wherever that is, but for fair competition I want to make sure I have the rules right.

Zoyous Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I played the hell out of this on the Apple IIe! I think years later when it came out on the Master System, I thought of it as a bit outdated compared to the '89 crop of platformers. But it does have some nice graphical upgrades. Nowadays I wonder if perhaps the SMS version could be considered the definitive version of Montezuma's Revenge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Very happy with my new high score 207,800 Nothing like racking up a bunch of lives and losing a lot in a row. At least you get them often, just keeping your eyes on the next 10k. My downfall is the inventory- sometimes I collect too much and don’t have room for treasures or swords. And jumping. On tiny platforms, smh. Edited February 29, 2020 by fakecortex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
