MAZE CRAZE(TM) (1 OR 2 PLAYERS)

You’re a cop on a tough beat. Your job is to get through your beat safely, in the least possible time. But danger and obstacles surround you! There are robbers who can wound you and your opponent can place blockades in your path. You’ll walk blacked out streets with nothing but a streetwise scout to guide you. And with 16 levels of play, you won’t soon tire of the challenge.

Maze Craze is a tough game. But then, you’re a tough cop.

Your beat is the mean streets of Atari Central….

Each player controls a blue or red cop. Your cop’s beat is a maze of city blocks, and you must move the cop from the left side of the maze to the exit on the right.

You’ll hear the footsteps of cops, as well as the sound effects when someone bumps into a dead end, or the special sound effects when someone exits from a maze. You’ll also experience the unique sound that occurs when a robber captures a cop!

Controls

To move your cop, push the Joystick forward, backward, left or right.

Speed

How fast can your cop react to danger? The number at the top left side of the playfield represents the speed at which cops and robbers travel: 1 – medium, 2 – fast, 3 – slow, 4 – calculatingly slow.

Visibility

During some games, all or some of the city blocks may suffer blackouts. The top right number on the screen represents the amount of the maze you can see during a game:
