A maze game with a difference.

The maze never changes, and all you have to do is move using E,N,W,S keys from one side to the other. Sounds easy, doesn't it? But it's not quite that simple. There are some nasty surprises in store.

For instance, there are 100 boxes and you must guess the number of the box containing the key within seven goes. Watch out though, some contain lethal objects - I was spared this particular fate.

There is also a homicidal robot who turns vicious if you can't tell him his name after it is shown briefly on the screen. This name changes so you can't cheat.

The worst of the obstacles to my mind was the crusher where you are allowed 15 attempts to guess the correct letter of the alphabet before being crushed.

These are just a few of the obstacles you may meet on your journey across the park. I must confess that I never reached the other side despite numerous attempts.

The graphics are interesting and I had no difficulties in loading the game. Quite enjoyable but I think it would become monotonous after a while.
