Mouse in Maze and Tic-Tac-Toe Simulation (1959)
44Mouse in Maze is a maze game created by the students at MIT in 1959 using interactive graphical programs using a TX-0 computer. This is probably the first maze game ever created way before Pac-Man came out. This is not the accurate graphics for 1959 since this is the just an simulation for this old game created using Java. The purpose of this game is to use use a light pen to place maze walls, dots that represented bits of cheese, and (in some versions) glasses of martini. A virtual mouse represented by a dot was then released and would traverse the maze to find the objects.
