- INTRODUCTION
-
- MAZEMAKER is a game for Microsoft Windows(tm) Version 3.0 or higher. You can
- probably guess that it is a maze game. The intent of the game is to present
- you with the sort of challenges that a laboratory mouse faces rather than those
- of an Adventure style game. Thus MAZEMAKER mazes look more like the ones you
- might find in a puzzle book; but with some important differences. All
- but the easiest mazes are three dimensional! And it is nearly impossible to
- work a maze from the end.
-
- MAZEMAKER mazes are also more complicated. When MAZEMAKER is started it
- generates the "Maze of the Day." If, at first, you find the Maze of the
- Day too difficult try the "EASY Maze of the Day" until you get the hang of it.
- If you want to be shown how to attempt a maze, select DEMO from the GAME menu.
-
- After you solve the Maze of the Day, you become eligible to attempt the "Maze
- of the Week." When you solve this you can try the "Maze of the Month" and
- ultimately the "Maze of the Year!"
-
- There are other mazes and options too. You can probably figure them out by
- exploring the menu options. If not, or if you want more information, look at
- the text file MAZEMAKR.HLP. (This file may also be viewed while running
- MAZEMAKER by selecting HELP.)
