Hi Dark, Actually, their Montezuma's Return game was a full fledged 3D FPS shooter. The character was a guy, and the story was quite a lot different. Never-the-less I agreed to remove the name from my game, which they were cool with, and I am going to modify the levels some so they aren't exactly clones of Montezuma's Revenge.
