Montezuma's Revenge
Montezuma's Revenge is a game for the Atari 2600, which features Panama Joe (a character similar to Indiana Jones). The game is set inside a Aztec pyramid, full of enemies, obstacles, traps, and dangers. The goal is to score points by gathering jewels and killing enemies along the way. Panama Joe must find keys to open doors, collect and use equipment such as torches, swords, amulets, etc., and avoid or overcome challenges in his path. Obstacles include laser gates, conveyor belts, disappearing floors, and fire pits.
Movement is achieved by jumping, running, sliding down poles, and climbing chains and ladders. Enemies include skulls, snakes, and spiders. The player has a limited number of inventory slots to carry items and cannot collect any other items or jewels if all slots are filled. A further complication arises in the lower floors of each pyramid, which must be played in total darkness unless a torch is found.
The pyramid is nine floors deep, not counting the topmost entrance room the player enters at the start of each level, and has 99 rooms to explore. The goal is to reach the Treasure Chamber, whose entrance is in the central room of the lowest level. After jumping here, the player has a short time to jump from one chain to another and pick up as many jewels as possible. However, jumping onto a fireman's pole will take the player immediately to the next level; when time runs out, the player is automatically thrown onto the pole.
