A good platformer in the style of Abu Simbel. It's funny that I just played it in the Amiga June video. I hope you like the video.
Thx for playing and for your difussion!!
Nice platform game! Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 03:18:23. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
¡Felicidades, un juegazo! Sin embargo, ya existe un juego para Spectrum con ese nombre. Este año se lanzará un remake para el ZX Spectrum. En nombre del titular de los derechos, les solicito amablemente que cambien el nombre para evitar confusiones o disputas. Gracias.
Hello, I'm aware of what you're saying. However, I wasn't aware of the copyright on the name. If you'd be so kind, please provide the registration number.
In any case, we're already working on renaming it, as it's in the process of being released in physical format.
Finally, if you'd like, I can reference the remake as soon as it's ready, indicating that this game isn't a clone and has nothing to do with the original, and the name is purely coincidental.
Thanks for you reply. First of all, I'd like to say that we are all small independent coders who should support each other, so I don't want to get into a dispute, and it makes no sense for us to confuse the public by having a game with the same name - noone benefits from this, some people may end up buying the wrong game on both sides, so naturally I hope we can find a friendly solution that will help to avoid this.
To answer your other question, I understand that according to EU law, a registration is required for a trademark . However, in both the US and the UK, common law trademark rights are based on a 'first to use' basis. This means that the rights to use the name in those territories are automatically given to those that can show they used it first. Since the game was launched in 1983 and is quite well known, it is clear that common law would apply here, which is why the original author retains the name as a trademark.
But, as I said, speaking from one coder to another, I'm sure this is mostly a misunderstanding so hopefully it can be settled without further dispute. I sent you a message on twitter if you would like to discuss it further in private.
Also, good luck with your (renamed) game, and best wishes for your future projects too.
Gran juego! Muy divertido y lleno de retos. Todo gracias a Amisko Jones :D
I love everything about this game !! Well done to you all 10/10
thanks!!!!
Nice game. Like the main character and the speed. Also the new beeper FX that don't slow the game down. Cool music too
Thanks!
Great game, thanks.
Hi there - nice game, but perhaps you are not aware that there is already a very well known classic game for the ZX Spectrum called 'The Pyramid', which I am currently working with the author on a remake. This will clearly cause confusion so can I suggest that you rename it, perhaps to 'The Great Pyramid' or 'The aventures of Amisko Jones', or any other title. Thanks!
Great game
Great fun, and of course, I finished it first time... I mean, I got my butt kicked, big-time :)
Jejejeje hope you really finish sometime in the near future! Enjoy it!
Nice game!
