Review: Midi Maze II
====================
Midi Maze I was a multi-player game where you could connect
STs together and battle it out with each other. There were
no power-ups, no extras - the entire concept was very
simple. Just shoot when you see your opponent.
Now, Midi Maze II is available. This makes it possible for
up to 16 STs to be linked together and there are plenty of
power-ups to be bought and loads of mazes to play on.
For those of you who've never played the original Midi Maze,
I'll tell you what you have to do..... Each person is a big
smiley face of a different colour. The aim is to go around
one of several mazes and shoot each other until one of you
scores one hunred money points. This is when the game is
over. If more than two STs are linked, then you can play in
teams; if sixteen STs are linked then there could be eight
teams of two players. In version two, there are loads of
power-ups to be bought which can be anything from a map to
invisibility; the better the power-up, the more expensive it
is.
The game works in monochrome as well, using dithered
patterns instead of colours to identify opponents, and it's
just as playable. What this means is that nobody is left out
in the cold....
All the mazes you play on give a fast response to the
joystick, except one. This maze is called the Mega Maze and
as it is so big, it uses a lot of CPU power for the computer
to find out where you and your opponents are. Of course, the
more STs connected together, the slower the response - but
not by much!
Midi Maze II is a very playable and addictive game. A
brilliant soundtrack is played at the beginning of the game
to liven things up, and the graphicsare pretty good in
colour and monochrome.
Providing you know someone with an ST then you should get
this game now. You'll be on it for months, I can guarantee.
Perhaps the next one will have modem support - then we'll
make BT even bigger profits than they already have!!
