Monty no Doki Doki Dai Dassō: Monty on the Run

"Monti no Doki Doki Dai Dassō: Monty on the Run" is a remake of the 1985 original platformer and means "Monty's Great Heart-pounding Escape" when translated to English. It was created for the Famicom Disk System in 1987 by Jaleco Ltd. The game bears very little resemblance to the original version. For instance, Monty Mole has been replaced with a human on the run from prison and now has to escape through various Aztec-like temples. The only real association the game does have with the original is Gremlin's copyright and the familiar "in-game" theme playing on the title screen. Like many Famicom Disk System titles, Monty's Great Heart-pounding Escape is little known outside Japan as the game was never ported to cartridge for a Western NES release.
