Palm Beach Gardens, FL – March 10, 2023<\/strong> –\u00a0Long before a certain bounty hunter donned her iconic spacesuit, a 16-year-old programmer named Robert Jaeger created one of the first platform games on the Atari 800 computer, Montezuma\u2019s Revenge<\/em>. Often credited as being an inspirational predecessor to Metroid and many other popular gaming series, Montezuma’s Revenge<\/em> is considered one of the greatest multi-platform hits of the early generation of video games. Now, 40 years later, Handcrafted Mystical Games is bringing Montezuma\u2019s Revenge<\/em> back to life in a modern remake built for the current consoles and the PC.<\/p>\n

In Montezuma\u2019s Revenge<\/em>, players may follow Pedro the explorer or his younger sister Rosita on an expedition for glory into the deadly depths of Montezuma\u2019s tomb. Overcome devious traps, face down monstrous foes, and find a path through the ruins to untold riches \u2013 and then see if you can do it again.<\/p>\n

Fans of the 1983 original will have something to look forward to as well with the inclusion of a previously unreleased complete Director\u2019s Cut of the original Montezuma\u2019s Revenge with this new edition.<\/p>\n

“I am very excited about having a modern update of Montezuma’s Revenge<\/em> for its 40th<\/sup> birthday,\u201d says Jaeger. \u201cHMG has assembled some top-notch talent, and I am working with them every step of the way. I am also coding and doing the art for the Director’s Cut, which is my completed vision of the original classic version of the game.”<\/p>\n

Montezuma’s Revenge<\/em> was ahead of its time in 1983 in how it approached replay value and challenge, distinguishing itself with multiple difficulty settings that altered the tomb\u2019s layout, closing paths, changing enemy placement, and floors shrouded in darkness.<\/p>\n

Montezuma\u2019s Revenge 40th Anniversary Edition is in development and will \u00a0be launched within the next 9 months.\u00a0The title will be the team\u2019s first homegrown project under the Handcrafted Mystical Games label.<\/p>\n
