They have maze to take you a walk...

One of the things that amazes me about our galaxy is the amount of dishonesty there is about. I mean, someone actually stole the tungstidium jewels from the Emperor of Zxylon.

Anyway he was caught and got what he deserved. He's been put in a 3D maze which has been constructed on a space platform.

By the time he gets out of there he'll have learnt the error of his ways.

Still it's an ill wind that blows no good. The whole episode has given Kay Dee Software the idea for a clever new adventure game called Star Maze II.

The idea is that you are put in the maze and have to find your way out.

The screen shows you the view forward and you can use the cursor keys to move forwards, back, left, or right. Also you have a display telling you which way you are currently facing, the co-ordinates of your position, and, ominously, the amount of energy that you have left.

It's utterly fascinating, and it's all too easy to monopolise the micro while you try to crack the problem. Irritatingly it's one of those games where onlookers feel obliged to give advice.

My advice to them is to go away and buy their own copy of Star Maze II. They won't regret it.
