Maze Game Faves
More than just Pac-Man, this page is packed with the genre's best and weirdest. Here's to a time when video games were exactly that--games to play in-between swigs of soda and greasy pizza.
Trog...more than cycloptic cavemen and rainbow dinos and mazes of wiggling eggs, Trog is a game about clay in all its fantastic, elastic potential. Expressive squishiness converted to phosphor and pixel--it was the first of its kind, a successful marriage rarely seen again. Games are about hand-drawn sprites and sculpted polygon, apparently, not the painstakingly animated, stop-motion clay models that so filled Trog's glorious CRT display back in the day. And yes, years later, this fusion of art forms still begs for a crumb of respect. Trog, in all its majesty, is a tragedy.
Pac-Man Arrangement takes the classic game of Pac-Man and adds context--from Egyptian catacombs to industrial strongholds, Arrangement provides a setting, even a pretext, for the hero's ghost-dodging woes. The game is fast, fun, weird, and stands as a direct contrast to the more minimalist Pac-Man Championship Edition that would arrive years later. Championship is fast...but this one adds flavor to the maze-running fun
