Description
I mainly look at type-in games, that is... games where the writers gave you the source code in a book or magazine and it was up to YOU to type them in to the computer, without making mistakes, and then running them. Typing them in sometimes took AGES. Sometimes they didn't work. Often you made lots of mistakes...

But I like them. Because if there's a good game, but you don't like something.... you can change it! You can add things, change things, improve things, make them prettier.

Also I like dressing up like an idiot.

Roll over CoD, this is the first person experience we all were wanting! I just never appreciated how much goes into the backend of making a maze like this!!

Machine code is frightening for all but the most well prepared! I wasn't the only one to immediately think "3D Monster Maze" by the looks of things! Nice Bender reference as well!

Good work on improving that machine code without an assembler!

The fact 1 magazine reviewed the book without actually trying any of the programs speaks volumes about gaming mag’s of the time.

That was very clever. I wish I could do stuff like this. Im so not anywhere near this level.

Ooooo some cool . Acting in this..... If it doesn't win a bafta then I'm complaining.... Cool vid and love the work x

A nice little game, I've gotta admit I like it in blue and white... It seems very similar to 3D monster maze, minus the Monster of course!

This is a lot of work to go through for 3D Monster Maze HD, this time there's no monster edition :D

Couldn't help but think that a giant dinosaur was going to pop out at some point.

Query: (and possible challenge) - Would it be posssible - to make the floor (and potentially ceiling) differently coloured compared to the walls? My brain goes "custom characters should achieve this", but I have no idea how it all works. :P

Whoa! How did you change this game into ps5 graphics

Disassembling machine code manually; don't know whether to give kudos or alert the authorities that there is a lunatic on the loose. ;-)
