+therealbountybob Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Montezuma's Revenge - Zdendazuma II There are now a bunch of Monty's to play, we looked at Montezuma "Again" last time so I've picked Zdena's Ver this time. https://a8.fandal.cz/search.php?search=montezuma&butt_details_x= Zdendazuma II has several bootable ATR's in the zip file, looks like each is a separate game that can be booted. For this round play as many of the Z disks as you wish, post how far you got levels 1-40? for each one as well as score If you want to play Redux too to check it out please do so, we can have that as the main game next time we play https://a8.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=8365 Round now ends Weds 25th October 8pm UK time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 What am I missing here? Seems like only one screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Perhaps it is the II version we should try as the image file is 20 times larger than the one for the first version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaG Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 The II version contains 6 datadisks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 Would be surprised if Fandal listed the first one as a game and it's not, the 2nd one II looks like a zip file with various ATR's - need it to work on my 1050, wonder if it loads additional maps in as it goes from the other disks - let's see if we can find any links for these suckers II 1st disk boots on altirra F2/Start loads and plays! Found this https://vitno.org/2023/09/10/zdendas-montezuma-atari-8-bit/ Also found Montezuma Redux - original game with graphics updated by the guys on Atariage but let's try Zdena II if we can as the main game - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Finished the Zdenda version with 41,260 points. I’ll post a screenshot later on. It just goes back to the beginning and let’s you play through again until you’ve exhausted your remaining swords/lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Yeah, the first one only appears to be one screen. I tried to see if there are any hidden exits, but only found the one marked Exit which ends the game. The second version with all the data disks may offer more of a challenge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Played it again. New score: 42,300! There are 40 levels in all. The last one being the "bonus gem" level. Then it goes back to the beginning. There are no more swords/gems to be collected in the 2nd runthrough, so you basically go as far as you can before you lose your remaining swords/lives. So, maximize your points and conserve your swords or else you can't make it to the end. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 Perhaps @Sikorwill know about Z's versions - couldn't see anything on atarionline.pl Have just download the II ver and the first data disk - interested to see if it loads in additional stuff or are all different versions/games !

Zdendazuma II has several bootable ATR's in the zip file, looks like each is a separate game. Not played the first version yet, but still wonder if there is a hidden item/platform that will activate the game. For this round play as many of the Z disks as you wish, post how far you got levels 1-40? for each one as well as score If you want to play Redux too to check it out please do so, we can have that as the main game next time we play Got to level 33ish on Z2 score 30,020 and also played the first Data disk 5,750 (10ish). Need a few practice goes to get used to the dynamics - note: the lives are lost instantly if you have no swords. Some nice and colourful screens, must have taken some time to create 8 disks though some levels are simple and un-involving, pretty sure that is a word atariage spellchecker that also doesn't like Atariage or colourful 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I didn't realize the data disks were separate games! I guess I have more work to do! LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariSphinx Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 First disk : 1170 Had a few crashes probably due to my emulator. Will see if have time to install a better one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 The link to "Vintage is the new old" has a link to the original author, Zdenda Zubr. Very interesting to read, and it appears he has made a number of other games too. https://www.zzubr.cz/atari.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Btw, does this round end on Wednesday October 18, or Thursday October 19? Yet again it seems someone has a faulty calendar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdrunner Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Main Game: Completed, 37370 Disk 1: Completed, 42240 Didn't have time to try the other disks. I actually spent the first couple of weeks thinking that the files didn't work only to find out that the games cannot be played as intended using NTSC on my emulator. Once I finally switched back to PAL, everything worked the way a Montezuma clone should. Favorite screen (Main Game): 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
