If you haven't played this cops and robbers chase game... you're missing out on lots of fast-moving fun.
You're a cop patrolling a tough city beat. The twisting streets and alleyways look like a maze You've got to get through to the other side--but it won't be easy!
There are robbers roaming through that maze, waiting to get the jump on you. Blockades fool you into turning down the wrong path
And just your luck-parts of the maze are blacked out, so you can't see where you're going.
You're in a tough spot, Officer-but you've got to get through!
That's the story of MAZE CRAZE, an amazing action-packed cartridge in the Atan Game Program library It's a game that's funny to watch or to play, as your figures beep and bump their way through a completely different, chal- lenging maze each round. And while in- dividual players will find escaping from a maze full of robbers a terrific adventure, the best MAZE CRAZE games are in- tense battles of wits between two play- ers, on the screen at the same time, trying to figure out the maze and outthink
CAPTURE: You tum the tables on those robbers with this variation. You have to catch three different-colored robbers before you can head for the exit-and get there before your opponent does! INVISIBLE MAZE: Your city street is prone to blackouts. For any of the 10 ba- sic game variations, you can choose from 4 Visibility Levels.
There is help for you, though--you get to peek at the blacked-out section for a flash every few seconds. Pay attention-blink your eye and it's gone again.
These are just a few of your MAZE CRAZE options. There are also four speed levels and, for further variety. the A/B difficulty switches control whether the rob- bers are slower or faster than your cop
The basic MAZE CRAZE screen is shown above. Each player uses a joystick to send a cop figure searching for the exit on the night.
The basic maze-running race is exciting, and the game doesn't stop there MAZE CRAZE has dozens of special features which can be used alone or in combination to make the chase more chal- lenging. These include ROBBERS: If you are hit by any of these bad guys, you are out of the game. You can let 2 or 3 armed rob- bers loose in your maze at the same time, or have 5 of them chase you for a truly death-defying expedition.
PAC-MAN fans will find the strategic thinking required in MAZE CRAZE a treat, with the added excitement of two- person competition. And cruising through the maze at high speeds calls for the kind of accurate control which makes Atan target-shooting and driving games so popular
You'll need both quick wits and quick wrists to win at MAZE CRAZE
