Hi Michael, That's basically the way my wife and I saw the situation as well. We can't offer people Montezuma's Revenge, but there is nothing saying we can't produce a game similar in design and story. Plus we have a lot of sounds left over from the development of Montezuma's Revenge as well as MOTA itself that this should not be an expensive endeavor for us. Mostly it will take time, but certainly not a great deal of time since we have an existing game engine, Genesis, and we have some tested code from MOTA beta 22 itself to work with. I can see putting out a game like this in a fairly short length of time once we get started with it.
As for personal interest I'm excited to do it. For one thing even though Pitfall and games like that are simplistic compared to games of today I really liked them, and is one reason I took over Montezuma's Revenge in the first place. As Dark has so often mentioned Super Liam, Q9, etc are good games, but they consistently fail to live up to the expectations we have when comparing them to even relatively simple games from the Atari, Sega, and NES era of games. Here is a chance to give everyone a retro game that has all of the features we would expect from a 2d side-scroller from the 80's and 90's, and be similar in feel to Pitfall or Montezuma's Revenge that you would in effect be getting almost exactly what you paid for.
