cimerians Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Besides Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man games. Modern remakes are ok too. Anything! I have to go with Oil's Well and Lady Bug. Is Mr. Do a maze game? Tunnel Runner wasn't too bad for a '3D' Atari maze game..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lentzquest Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Pacmania is my personal favorite. I think the jumping mechanics add a lot to the gameplay, while still keeping true to Pacman's roots. Edit: Didn't notice the whole Pac series was off limits. Next to them I'd say I spend the most time with Jawbreaker on the 2600. Edited August 24, 2012 by Lentzquest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drixxel Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'm quite partial to Mouse Trap and Pepper II, those would have to be my favourites above any of the Pac-Man games, even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatefulGravey Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Mouse Trap was the first VCS game I played as a kid, so that one has always had a special place for me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Lady Bug for sure, in particular the absolutely phenomenal and astonishing 2600 homebrew of it. That game still blows me away with what it does on the lil' ol' 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Does Mr Driller count? My top three are Dig Dug (and variations & sequels), Mr Driller (and variations and sequels), and Mr Do (original only). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) All those games are great. I forgot about Turtles! Lock n' Chase seemed a bit too slow. I always liked the Tanks section in Tron. I also remember a game called Changes where your this caterpiller: Tutankham kicked ass! Also I really liked an 1980's arcade game where you squirt water on fire enemies. You were like this little water guy and you would run over puddles or water and that was your ammo. You would run out but then fill up again by running over the puddles. Lots of fun and maze-like. Anyone remember that? I dont have Mame at the moment.

Rex Dart Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Crush Roller is pretty good, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'm not sure which one I would call my top favorite, but Wizard of Wor would be high on my list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) No question--has to be Getaway! on the A8. It's got a really large maze, and some interesting mechanics. IMO it's better than the Pacman titles, but a bit short for my liking. When I was a kid (3-ish), I used to love exploring that city. I'd usually stick close to the safezone and venture out when the enemies weren't about. It's a lot more kid-friendly than most maze-based titles.

Video Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I always liked maze craze. That's the basic-ist maze game you can get, me and my friends always played the "cops and robbers" mode on it (don't know if that's what it was called, but that's what we called it. My favorite was the game Entombed, that game was the shiznite, and it would get ragingly fast, and the ability to score points to use to "open a door" was awesome.

marthbrightblade Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Castlequest. Does that count as a maze game? A maze of doors you run out of keys for half way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatefulGravey Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Does Berzerk count? Normally when people say maze game they mean PacMan style games, but Berzerk does take place in a giant maze and would easily replace my pick of Mouse Trap.

cimerians Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 No question--has to be Getaway! on the A8. That looks pretty cool. Reminds me a tiny bit of Rally X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiddlepaddle Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I recently mastered Amidar (quit playing after 60,000), and am now playing Lock 'n' Chase, both VCS games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 For myself, I spent hours and hours on Blue Print, Painter (on the Jaguar), and Turtles on the O2 (which I still think is the best O2 game). And because I enjoyed the movie so much, I played a lot of Alien on the 2600 (maybe not the greatest maze game but it was Alien).

RJ Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Maze Craze where the player is stunned by the moving blocks, & slowly recovers. The supense/tension/excitement factor is dee-licious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
