This is a playthrough of Robert Jaeger's Montezuma's Revenge for the 8-bit Atari, originally written in 1983. A fantastic game! This is the original Utopia Software prototype, not the retail Parker Brothers version. If you are unfamiliar with this one, it is Montezuma's Revenge as it was originally created. The game was licensed to Parker Brothers before it was completed, so no ending was written. You can reach the end boss (Montezuma, I presume?), but there is no way to beat him or progress the game any further. While the Parker Brothers version of Montezuma's Revenge that was released to the public was immensely popular, it was also heavily stripped down from the original Utopia version. Bringing the game from 48K to 16K (so it could fit on a cartridge) came at the cost of a number of things that made it so special: the opening sequence, bat timer, end boss, and much more. In my opinion, this version is *significantly* better. It's the only one I like to play, too. :) This isn't any kind of a speed run or attempt at a perfect game. In fact, I actually died once in a fire pit towards the end due to some poor timing on my part. Oops! Played on an Atari 130XE. Recorded onto VHS and then run through a TV Capture Card. (I taped it first because of the lag on my TV Capture Card.) I also recorded the entire opening sequence. Watch it here: www.youtube.com (It may be worth checking out if you've only ever seen the Parker Brothers version!) Enjoy!
