In which I play "Maze War", a type-in from Analog magazine, issue 36 dated November 1985. The program is by Mark Price. What a great fun game this is! You could play with as many as 4 humans going head to head, if you had either an Atari 400 or 800, which each had 4 joystick ports. On later computers from Atari, there were only 2 ports. You can also play against computer-controlled zombies at speeds ranging from very slow to ludicrously fast. I was able to handle the zombie onslaught at speed 5, which is the default. On speed 9, I got my butt handed to me in record time!
