Montezuma's Revenge (Multi, 1984) & Panama Joe (Spectrum, 1984)

Subgenre: Maze Platformer/Collectathon (level-based+life-based but each level is a maze (which gets larger the further you get))

Linear overarching structure (go from level to level in a set order)
Temporary tools and weapons (torches which light up dark rooms disappear between levels)
No map? (introduced in the GBC sequel?)
No save or password save?
