This machine-coded game is fast, well-designed and enjoyable to play. It can be operated by the Camputers joysticks or by using the arrow keys.

The maze displayed on the screen is divided into squares, and the aim of the game is for a Mazeman to collect these squares by passing through them. Each square is worth ten points.

However, also in the maze are found Hobgoblin monsters searching for the Mazeman to gobble him up.

The Mazeman can counter attack by passing through one of four special squares. These give him about ten seconds to slay as many of the monsters as possible, so enabling him to pass through more squares before other hobgoblins are released from the central cage.

Notwithstanding its simplicty, this game is very challenging and addictive. One soon begins to hate the hobgoblins, constantly trying to avoid them with manic fervour.

Improvements could have been made to the game by having more variations built into the program - such as different levels of difficulty - and by having more sound effects during the different operations.

But considering all these factors and the price, Mazeman is a good buy.
