- # MICE MAZE GAME DIRECTIONS
-
- #OBJECTIVE
-
- The objective of Mice Maze is to find and rescue your
- friend the Red Mouse, trapped somewhere in this puzzle
- maze.
-
- #GAME PLAY
-
- In this adventure strategy game, you will be represented
- by the Blue Mouse. At the start of a new game you will
- be put into a puzzle maze which consists of 36 rooms.
- Use the <|Arrow Keys|> to move your mouse about each room.
-
- There are mouse doors on the side of the room which will
- allow you to exit the room and move into a new one.
-
- When you enter a new room, a map will pop up on the game
- board to help identify your location. You can also press
- the <|M|>ap key to see the map at anytime during the game.
- The present room number is displayed to the right of the
- game board below the picture of the seated mouse.
- #STORY LINE
-
- Your first objective will be to acquire |10,000| points.
- When you reach the 10,000 point mark you will be given
- an extra life and also further instructions on how to
- find your friend the Red Mouse. The adventure would not
- be an adventure if I told you what twists and turns this
- puzzle will take... you'll have to discover that for
- yourself.
-
- #OBJECTS
-
- |CHEESE|: Your mouse needs cheese for strength, so grab
- these whenever you can. If you run out of cheese the game
- will be over no matter how many lives you have left.
- Every 20 moves of your mouse or when you exit a room, one
- cheese will be subtracted from your cheese total.
-
- |GRILLS|: These circular grills are immovable and cannot
- be blasted or removed with bombs.
-
- |CANS|: There are green cans located in most of the rooms.
- These cans give you extra points if you can reach them.
- |CATS|: In each of the rooms, there are cats on the prowl.
- The light yellow cats are slower and the purple cats are
- much faster. If you get caught by a cat, you will lose
- one life.
-
- |TRAPPING CATS|: You can eliminate the cats from the room by
- pushing the blocks to surround them. If you can push the
- blocks in such a way as the cat has no where to move, then
- it will be removed and a an extra cheese will be placed
- somewhere in the room. If two cats are trapped together
- then they will not be removed. You must trap them
- individually. Once you leave a room, all the cats you
- trapped earlier will reappear again the next time.
-
- |BOMBS|: These bombs are used to blast through the blocks.
- To activate a bomb, press the <|SPACE BAR|> and then press
- the |Arrow Key| to signify where you want to throw the bomb.
-
- |HOLES|: In many of the rooms there are mouse holes that
- you can go into. Sometimes you'll find extra items like
- cheese and bombs, but other times you'll find nothing.
- Beware... you can also drop some items when going into
- these holes.
