Retro gaming fans have a new reason to dust off their joysticks and load up the 70's woody as Monochrome Productions officially launches Tony Montezuma’s Gold for the Atari 2600. This latest game draws its inspiration from the legendary life of Tony Halik, the real-world Polish explorer and prolific filmmaker. Known for his tireless work documenting ancient civilisations for NBC, Halik’s globe-trotting career spanned decades and served as the blueprint for this retro homage.
We've recently been informed by both Saberman and Xenomorph, that the highly enjoyable game of Tony - Montezuma's Gold by Monochrome Productions. Which was previously released for the Amiga, AtariXL, Commodore 64 and as a preview for the ZX Spectrum. Has appeared as a demo on the Amstrad CPC. A game that I feel it would be right at home on a classic Macintosh with monochrome graphics! As ever, has provided below is the video showing some early footage of this game by Rafal Dudek, Bartłomiej Kseniak and Adam Gilmore.
It feels like it was only just yesterday that we announced, that not only had Tony been released for the Amiga, Atari XL and C64 by Monochrome Productions, but we also had the pleasure of playing Go! Tony Go! as a spin off from the game for the Atari XL/XE. Well fast forward to today and boy do we have some pretty special news for you. As while some of you couldn't stand the monochrome style in the Commodore 64 version of Tony, the team behind the game are about to launch a full colour version at some point later today. As in the words of the devs "Prepare for invasion of colour. Whole VIC-II palette is involved".
