Subject: [Audyssey] Montezuma's Revenge Title.


> Hi all,
> Over the passed six months or so I have really considered of giving
> Montezuma's Revenge a slight name change. I have three primary reasons
> for feeling the name change should be done while retaining the same sort
> of game play.
> First, the name Montezuma isn't exactly correct. The man most people
> call Montezuma was actually named Emperor Moctezuma II, and ruled the
> Aztec Empire from 1502 to 1520.
> Second, a title like Montezuma's Revenge is a bit tasteless in my
> opinion. It is a well known historical fact that Emperor Moctezuma was
> well known for his week constitution, and frequently had diarrhea. The
> Spanish thought this was funny and coined the term Moctezuma's Revenge
> for anyone who had a bad case of diarrhea. As time went on American
> historians Americanised the name to, Montezuma, and now any time someone
> has a bad case of diarrhea it is Montezuma's Revenge. All thanks in part
> to a man who had a week constitution.
> Third, during my recent research into copyrighting the game I am a bit
> stuck legally if I continue under the Montezuma's Revenge title and
> continuing to use Panama Joe as the leading character. However, with a
> few miner name changes such as a new name of character and title the
> game can successfully be copyrighted as an original work.
> As a result I have thought of some new titles that are similar to the
> game, but be  hopefully a bit different.
>
> Moctezuma's Revenge
> The revenge of Montezuma
> The Revenge of Moctezuma
>
> Finally, I have had a large number of requests to return Angela to the
> game. In light of my copyright issues that might not be such a bad idea.
> A new character, including a female one, a new name, etc would all aid
> in placing distance between me and the original work without really
> altering the game that much. Any thoughts, suggestions, and feedback?
