A simple game with very little action. A maze is drawn on the screen and the player has to find a way out by moving a marker through the maze by means of four keys.

There are four levels of play, and the player plays against the clock. The lower level is easily mastered, but the higher levels will test the most skilful keyboard exponent.

Each new screen display draws a different maze, but lack of action, no sound and the simplicity of the game soon makes interest wane, despite the variation.

Little use is made of the full potential of the BBC and adding to the tedium is the extraordinary length of time the program takes to set up each new screen, especially at the higher levels of play.

In fact, because each game is quickly over, you spend longer waiting for the screen to be set up than playing the game.

At all levels, the mark being moved is very difficult to see and while each level of play has a different coloured maze, the use of colour action is poor. BBC owners have come to expect something better than this.

A poor game, even at the price.
