Re: [Audyssey] [spam] Re: Thoughts about Montezuma's Revenge.
Why couldn't a side scroller have enough replay value? I tend to agree with most folks here who are for the side scroller option. Although I love the 3D concept a lot and this new Angela character reminds me of the famous Tomb Raider and my favourite Lara Croft so much, and although I don't have any real relation to the original (old) Montezuma's Revenge, I still prefer the side scroller option cause there have already been several rather good and complex 3D games while we have only one side scroller that's atractive and funny, but it's still just one. :-) As most people said, when you release the original Monty as intended, you can do some 3D version later on if ya like. Just my thoughts.

Re: [Audyssey] [spam] Re: Thoughts about Montezuma's Revenge.
Hi, Not only that activision has recently released all the Atari games in new packaging, with new tv consoles, and you know what? They sold like crazy. Never mind Asteroids, Pacman, Dig Dug, Galaxian, etc are 25 year old games. People still like them, and they are exactly the way they were in the 1980's. Again age has nothing to do with replay value and interest in a game. Charles Rivard wrote: The key is, the game came out in the eighties for! the! sighted! player! We are a new generation of gamers who have never had the opportunity to play the original game due to not being able to see what happens. The game is not 25 or more years old to us. You are seeing the age of the game rather than the value of it to people who have never played it. I know people who are in their early thirties who really like music by The Beatles that came out around 1964 because they haven't heard it before. They could not care less that the music originated some 40 years ago. It is a new experience to them, they have never heard it previously, and, regardless of it's age, the music is of good quality, and they like it. The same principle applies here. And how do you know that this game we're discussing has no or little replay value. It hasn't even been made available in its entirety yet. How about giving Tom a chance?? It's only fair, right? You need something to play before you say that it has no replay value. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

We are a new generation of gamers who have never had the opportunity to play the original game due to not being able to see what happens. The game is not 25 or more years old to us. You are seeing the age of the game rather than the value of it to people who have never played it. I know people who are in their early thirties who really like music by The Beatles that came out around 1964 because they haven't heard it before. They could not care less that the music originated some 40 years ago. It is a new experience to them, they have never heard it previously, and, regardless of it's age, the music is of good quality, and they like it. The same principle applies here. And how do you know that this game we're discussing has no or little replay value. It hasn't even been made available in its entirety yet. How about giving Tom a chance?? It's only fair, right? You need something to play before you say that it has no replay value. - Original Message - From: Michael Maslo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Gamers Discussion list' gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, September 29, 2006 3:47 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] [spam] Re: Thoughts about Montezuma's Revenge.

Re: [Audyssey] [spam] Re: Thoughts about Montezuma's Revenge.
Excellent point Charles. For those of us who've never played the original due to our inability to see it, the game is not old. Heck, even people who had sight and could play the game back them might welcome an accessible version now that they've lost their vision. I myself would love to see more accessible versions of Atari type games, and I played the originals when I was a kid even though I've never had sight. It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you with no place to go.

Re: [Audyssey] [spam] Re: Thoughts about Montezuma's Revenge.
Not meant to, but I can see where you're coming from. The exclamation points are meant to give emphasis to key points, but not to raise the volume of the voice. Ever notice that I use a double question mark to raise the pitch?? like that?? It's the same idea. An example: Wow. That's! really! cool!! when you drop all your mines when sitting in the tank trap of GMA Tank Commander. Try it, on purpose, and see. - Original Message - From: Yohandy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, September 29, 2006 6:15 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] [spam] Re: Thoughts about Montezuma's Revenge.

Yeah, rock on psychedelic music--I'm a 33-year-old hippie wannabee, and old games can be pretty cool. I remember a nearly accessible Atari game called Dragster--any of you played it? Ken Downey President DreamTechInteractive! And, Coming soon, Blind Comfort! The pleasant way to get a massage--no staring, just caring. - Original Message - From: Charles Rivard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, September 29, 2006 8:14 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] [spam] Re: Thoughts about Montezuma's Revenge.
