This maze game has been given an
authentic archaeological flavour.
Instead of meeting monsters, you
meet various Aztec Gods who may
or may not be benevolent.
The object of the game is to negotiate
your way to the bottom of the temple of
Euetzalcoatl, collecting beads to fend
off marauding natives.
The temple has four levels, with
a maze on each. Mazes are presented as
3D perspective views of long corridors,
with doors set in the walls.
There is a true impression of walking
through the lonely corridors of a temple,
since new frames are drawn with high
speed.
I was wandering around on the highest
level, when I bumped into the great god
Huitzilopochti. His eyes flashed and he
gave me a map and compass to find my way
down to level two.
The map disintegrates every time you look
at it, but using it, I was able to locate
the blue downward shaft.
I was wandering about on level two when
I carelessly fell down a black shaft. This
broke the compass and, to be frank, I didn't
have the heart to carry on after this
setback.
