WOT!? :shock:
What wot?
Montezuma's Revenge is a critics darling, a cult little game, and it also belongs to GH's top 10. It made it in the top 50 for Zzap! #107, too.
What 'what' wot? :wink:
Well, I considered it a bit of a obscure (or odd-ish) title, especially in a list that doesn't contain (for example) Head Over Heels etc, etc... 8)
Once again I emerge from beneath a massive pile of paper which makes my desk groan to bring you the world’s most amazing posts.

Given the choice, I'd rather play Montezuma's Revenge over Head Over Heels any day. Mind you, I'd rather have a head cold while listening to Mariah Carey than play Delta.

Yes, tied in with their character "Clumsy Colin". They did another game on the Amiga, can't remember the name, but it was a puzzle game with dominoes on platforms?

Prof,
The other game was Push Over and certainly wasn`t one! :wink:

The reason I like Action Biker was it was pretty freeform and it was always your fault when you died as you tended to be speeding!

There is also an updated 64 version with better graphics Will dig it out and mail it to anyone who wants it (when I find it that is)

:)

I presume you mean Jon Wells' Action Biker 99? Very cool.
And thanks for the name of the Amiga game Mort!

I love it to. Just got myself a C64 DTV to play it. Anyway, this is very interesting too: http://www.jpct.net/paradroidz
