Even more addictive game (hard on the brain though)

Here's an old link I found in my bookmarks. I remember almost failing a test because of this sucker :
Theseus and the Minotaur

Not Simple but i like it! That`s one kind of game i like. Did you ever try the alchemist?

Horg · 12-06-2002, 10:54 PM

That is a cool game. There's a gaming site (online games) that has this same type of game with tons of levels. It's very cool, and very challeging... I was surprised. But, I can't remember the site... It was something to do with mummies...

Juge · 12-07-2002, 03:06 PM

I found it!! This game rocks, and the graphics are slightly better than that site in the first post. Check it out:

Mummy Maze from PopCap Games:

Horg · 12-07-2002, 03:17 PM

That's cool Juge, it's nice to see good graphics on it

It's a lot easier I find than the first one though, but I only played 7 levels.

The game is very addictive, I played through all of the easy levels. In hard, you go into night, which i didnt like, since you can see the whole level.

Thanks, I'd better succeed, this is my last semester, I can't image something worse than having to stay for another semester just one class that I would have failed. If everything goes right by friday night I shall be free !

There's more than one level? Damn, I already thought I had solved it!

RedShoe · 12-08-2002, 12:23 PM

I'm stuck on 11

Juge · 12-08-2002, 12:33 PM

Which game are you guys playing?

this one: http://www.logicmazes.com/theseus.html

RedShoe · 12-08-2002, 01:12 PM

I'm on 11 right now. I played this level before in the other game, but that was a LONG time ago. I did solve it, but it's tough. This is such an awesome logic game. Games like this should be taught in school...

Mister X · 12-09-2002, 01:14 PM

I got to level 7 on the mummy maze and got irritated and quit.

Juge · 12-09-2002, 04:07 PM

What's funny is that the rules are so simple, so the solution is never anything really complicated, if you take it a step at a time. But it appears to be at first. I didn't get annoyed with mummy maze until I got to the levels in where you can only see your lighted area aroung yourself... Right now, I'm on level 14 of the other game http://www.logicmazes.com/theseus.html

Horg · 12-09-2002, 04:12 PM

Yes, the rules are so simple that you forget about them. I remember playing and at some point I was stuck and couldn't find the answer to a certain level. I had to go through that level step by step until the "but of course !" factor appeared, finding out that the important move that changed everything was a move I previously thought was a certain doom.

Alchemy is another popcap game: http://www.popcap.com/ Scroll down, and click on the 'play now' next to the alchemy icon. It's very cool, you have to have a very unique strategy for getting far in this game.

wsjb78 · 12-10-2002, 01:25 PM

Hmmm, anyone can give me some directions for Lev 4 in the Theseus maze?

I'm on level 15 now. Here's the solution to level 4:
1. Go to the top left corner. go right, go left (notice this was a delay in the monster's movement by one square) go right, then down. Now the monster is stuck on the left side.
2. go almost the top right corner, as far over as you can, without the monster getting out, then go up, go down, go right. Now he's stuck in the corner.
3. go to the bottom right corner, go left, go right, go left, go up, now he's stuck behind the wall
4. you win

A letter to the editor of Games magazine which had a review of Mummy Maze from PopCap games:

"A-MAZE-ING BUT UNORIGINAL
I have news for you: PopCap’s Mummy Maze described in “Hot Java: Game Applets Rule the Net” (May GAMES) is indeed clever, but it’s far from “very original” as your article claims. It’s virtually identical with Robert Abbott’s “Theseus and the Minotaur” maze, which first appeared in his 1990 book Mad Mazes. It has also been an applet on his wonderful website since 1998. I’m sure many of your readers would enjoy Abbott’s outstanding collection of playable mazes at www.logicmazes.com.
