Notes
Published in the March 1984 issue of Personal Computer World magazine (PCW).
Published on the PCW Games Collection from Personal Computer World magazine.
These compilation cassettes were published by Century Communications Ltd.
The PCW book accompanying the PCW Games Collection contained the following description:
Your micro controls a mouse that has to find its way out of a maze that you create.
To begin with you draw a maze on the screen using the cursor keys to control the direction and SHIFT to leave a trail.
You can direct your maze anywhere you like but it must start in the top left corner and finish at the bottom fight corner of the screen.
When your meandering masterpiece is finished it is then the computer's turn. It has to direct the mouse, again- from the top left corner to the bottom right corner, in as few moves as possible.
Can you create a labyrinth from which the mouse will never escape?
A version for the Acorn Electron was later published on the Electron User Group PD Disc 40 in October 1998.
