"Ultimate Maze" (Amiga FPS game)

You probably cannot forget this game... Features: A gloomy story. The ultra complicated maze explodes your brain. Unforgettable brutal gory scenes in the battle traveling beyond time. Its difficulty would make even "Nightmare mode of DOOM" players cry. You will become fearful of darkness if once you get stuck in darkness levels. The 4th dimension would make you mad easily. A hidden "secret level" and "secret ending" would be presented to super players.

How to install in your hard disk:

1. Download this file and unzip it at your workbench screen.

The Game:

This game is First Person Shooter for 1 player.
In each level, your goal is to find an exit before your 3 lives run out.
In specific levels, you have to defeat (..or escape from) boss enemies.

For Analogic FDD users:
To sidestep left/right, you have to use Amiga keyboard. First you must choose "KEYBOARD" at the title screen.
Hold Left-Alt key and press left/right arrow key to sidestep left/right. Press Left-Amiga key to shoot.
Mega Drive 6 button pad's direction key is really good response, however, this time I cannot recommend you to use it.
It's because this game is extremely hard.  Especially this game, it matters whether you can sidestep or not.
You can also pause/show menu by Esc key of Amiga keyboard.

Scenes:

	Area 1 It's the first half of the area which has originally existed from 1995. It seems that there were many people died at this area till today, so this area has grown much more complicated while the maze has eaten people's avarice. Because these complicated maze distort even space-time, you will be confused by lots of phenomena that are beyond human understanding. In 2015, you must keep following fact in mind. If once you lose sight of a little girl statue, it's your death sign.
	Area 2 It's the latter half of the area which has originally existed from 1995. Each passage width becomes narrow, so you will be confused easily. The gold bar must have been existed in this area,too. In 1995, (fortunately?) only you failed to enter this area. You will be able to enter this area in 2005 for your first time, however, you will see havoc that people kills each other. They have traveled beyond time and can be classified into two kinds; "challengers" of the competition in 1995 and "hoodlums" who have entered this maze for the gold bar in a later age. In addition, nowadays we can even hear a rumor about Minotaur.
	Area 3 & Area 4 These areas originally didn't exist when the maze opened in 1995. They're mysterious areas which were born while the maze had grown. Seen from the sky, we can confirm complicatedly-curved passages, however, it seems unable to take aerial photographs clean due to unknown reason. So no one knows actually how is that going. It's really mysterious...

Unlock hidden features !!

If once you could complete "2015 MAZE Level 6 ~ 8" series, you can see "The End" screen. You should recognise that it was "normal mode". (Yes we know, it was obviously harder than original "Gloom".) After that, "Standard 7 levels mode" would be unlocked. If you are an advanced FPS player, why don't you try this "hard mode" ?! If once you complete even this "Standard 7 levels mode", a secret level and secret ending would be unlocked, too. Good luck !!
