Montezuma's Revenge

In Montezuma’s Revenge (1984), you play Panama Joe, an explorer who spends more time falling into pits than actually raiding temples. This early platformer is all about timing, precision, and the constant fear of snakes, skulls, and bottomless drops. It’s a game that laughs at your reflexes while dangling a shiny key just out of reach. Despite its age, it’s weirdly addictive, with that “one more try” pull. Basically, if Indiana Jones had less charm and a higher mortality rate, he’d look a lot like Panama Joe.
