Can't recall the name of the maze game

[melomonster]

Hello! I'm trying to recall a name of a maze game I had on Amstrad CPC 464. Point of the game was to move a smiley face along the lines to make them change color (not sure if i remember this correctly). It had really simple graphic.

No, I'm afraid that's not it. The game I'm looking for had simple, purely 2D graphics.

try the database there :
CPC-POWER, sauvegarde du patrimoine de l'Amstrad CPC

you can choose game >> labyrinthe category... then "rechercher" (search).


But basically a fluffy "smiley face" making tiles to change colours... Skweek ?




Else Ho Mummy!!!

It was one of the first games I bought for my CPC 464 with my own money. It came from makro wholesalers in Charlton, London SE7. Lol, I'd have been 12 or 13 lol.

I guess it could also be achieved on a CGA IBM PC under MsDos... but then the palette and sounds would suck.


yeay Böllawäre Softwärë was really awesome in its time and still are.

I'm just looking at the game again now , I think it has a lot of charm  and had it been given a little more polish would be far more enjoyable , the biggest flaw in the game for me is how on some levels you have to work completely blinded , this could be manageable if there was a way of changing the perspective so you could view from another angle . Other than that your character controls well and features like the run/jump button help getting out of tough situations . I have only just become aware that you could adjust the chasers speed !? I always played it with them full throttle . Another nice feature, especially for a game that has such bastard level design is the 99 level select.
Hi Rise , definitely not a game that many people would like or give a damn about . For some reason I do though. Anyway I won't take this thread off on a tangent to far . Just couldn't help mentioning it .

Not if it were done like MagiDuck.

Well in the writers case they were writing it in DOSBOX targeting a 8088 running at 4.77Mhz system with 256Kb. The game was being implemented somehow in low res CGA 40x25 text mode & applying some tricks to make it look like 80x50.
