Reviews for Alien Maze (#153)

1983 CRL (UK)

It's hard to believe this is written in Basic. For an 1983 maze game written in such a slow language it's very good. It's not fast but it ain't painfully slow as some games are.
Our goal is to deactivate a plasma bomb left in a secondary maze by aliens. For that you will need a code. There are a few clues in the first maze, in the form of arrows, that give you access to the second maze where the bomb is. Once you get there the plasma bomb will trigger a countdown mechanism and you have limited time to deactivate it. It's very easy to access the maze where the bomb is, but not so easy to get to the code and to the bomb in time.
