# A-maze-ing 3-D overview

Description: [Labyrinth](http://localhost/product/labyrinth/) is a game sold by [Mindware](http://localhost/company/mindware/) that creates a maze which the player must go through. At the start of the game, the player must choose the width and height of the maze. Before entering the maze, the player is given the option of seeing it first This gives the player plenty of time to plan a route through the maze.

The player is shown an image representing his view of the maze showing doorways and corridors in three dimensions. Movement through the maze is done by four direction keys. At any point the player can give up and see a full view of the maze. The computer will show the path that was taken by the player.

Evaluation: Labyrinth is an interesting game because the player sees such a small portion of the maze. The three dimensional graphics showing the passageways are adequately handled with the T/S1OO0,ZX81 graphics. The game is quite difficult the first couple of times. With practice, however, the passageways are easier to recognize and movement through the maze is much simpler. This is an interesting game but not a classic!
