About the only thing he had wrong was that it isn't Lucas Arts but Parker
Brothers who holds the copyrights to Montezuma's Revenge. The Lucas Arts
thing was in reference to the Star Wars game Thomas was considering. Parker
Brothers or one of their affiliates were the ones who contacted Thomas about
Monte. Either that or he contacted them himself, asked for and was denied
permission to use the title. And then if I'm not mistaken a smaller,
independent developer also contacted him. The way I understand it is he had
to change it from Revenge to Return due to Parker Brothers' holding the
rights to that title. And that was when another, smaller developer contacted
him to say that he couldn't use the title Return either. That ultimately was
what led to MOTA. Nichol was right in that Thomas did ask those of us who
had Betas of that game to avoid distributing it since it could land him in
legal trouble with that other developer even if not also with Parker
Brothers themselves. All I can say is I can only imagine how frustrating and
emotionally draining this whole business has been for him.

Hi Burak
I am not tom, but I will try to answer.
AS far as I understand, tom has been forbidden by lucas arts to develop
montizuma's revenge or montizuma's return.
That is why tom now creates mysteries of the ancients.
And for those of us who have betas of the montizuma's return game Tom
started to develop earlier, as far as I understand, tom has asked us not to
distribute these as this will also cause Lukas arts to throw tom in hot
water.
Hope this cleared things up for you.
