The explorer of the temple, labyrinths, or whatever you choose to call them never speaks during the game. Just an occasional utterance when hitting a wall, suffering pain, or dying. I would think that maybe the first choice you list, Moctezuma's Revenge, be used, and the character not be changed to preserve as much of the original as you can. No need to change the character unless you want to add the sounds so that male or female explorer can by chosen by the gamer at the start of game play. I would choose Panama Joe.
