I don't like how it looks like,but to play it is OK for few times.

I'm at level 10...I've ALMOST got it LOL
Btw, I am also getting the message about buying the full size version--says I have ten days left, blah blah.

I guess we just ignore that?

This is great. I have played this fre game for a few days and it is really good. I am always after some free games to play.

This was a good game but I eventually uninstalled. Found it a bit too difficult. I would rather the game to have multiple ways to get to the end instead of just one on some of these more advanced levels.

No problems setting up. Challenging puzzle.

It's just a maze game. Granted, it's not a bad maze game. And it is sort of like playing a puzzle game.

Even so, it's just not worth it.

Why don't you let the weekend games be accessed throughout the next week, since you're not putting up new ones anyway during the week. I'd like to get some new games on my laptop at work, but I don't work on weekends.

installed and activated successfully but game is not running, i dont know why?

#41 jenifer- good luck. This seems to be a recurring problem for some people. I had the same problem in the past and with this attempted install as well. I haven't seen the issue addressed satisfactorily yet. Wonder how many people have quit this site because of this issue?

Thanks for another nice game, GGOTD. Theseus and the Minotaur is a medium challenging game and i like the fact that you can make your own levels.

Thanks for the game. It's loads of fun. The example screen shots don't do it justice. I almost didn't download but after reading the comments I decided to give it a try. Glad I did. This game makes you think - that Minotaur is not always easy to evade.

Two really good games this weekend.
Thanks again.

Nice game, put together very well (Thumbs Up). Not entirely my cup of tea, but good for people who like this kind of thing.

Can anyone help please. When it trys to install and activate it brings up a FATAL ERROR: KEY IS INVALID. Please help...thanks in advance.

Once again, you've given us games with variety this weekend! Thank you for all of your efforts!!
This game looks challenging, and I think it will be perfect for a quick break. Full-sized adventure games often have this kind of game as one of their puzzles (especially the Nancy Drew games), and I am always challenged by them, as they are not the type of game I usually play.
Thanks again!!!

This is like a chess game with a twist. Definitely works your noggins. I like that you can choose to see the solutions as some the mazes, though they look simple, are a lot difficult than it looks. I'm not normally into chess or checkers type games, but this keeps me on my toes and I'll be playing this one every now and then.

As has been said, it is very similar to Mummy Maze. Don't judge it by the first few levels, it gets increasingly difficult.

Another great game guys! Thanks!

A very fun game. Requires serious thinking before each move and you have the time to do it. Thank you very much. I think I'm hooked!

Thanks lots, GGAOTD! Luv this type, tho they can drive you nuts, lol. Very much like Mummy Maze, which I've never finished.

Played thru 20 levels and level 21's solution was even in error. Loved the game, tho. Will play again, just to see if I can figure them out without the solutions. I never tried the editor because that just isn't fun for me. Too much like work. Thanks for the 20 levels. Thumbs up.

Game system: Gateway AMD running Windows xp sp2.

thank god.
Finally a game adults can enjoy.

Thanks to Kristanix and GGAOTD for offering a different game today - the dsl download/setup took under 4 minutes on my Windows XP and plays without any problems. Since my niece and I love mazes, I am giving this one a try. I have played a few levels already and feel that the arrow keys are the best way to make moves. Thanks !

To #31 MontanaGrandmom - We get the 'fully licensed' version for free - the one that is referred to in the readme file. This is not the trial version. :)

As for the game itself, the graphics are good but simple, gameplay is a little subdued but it is still a challenging game. It requires you to think out your moves carefully in order to complete the level in the fewest moves possible.

I would encourage those that haven't tried it but left negative comments anyway to at least try the first 20 levels before you trash this game. It is not as "boring" and "simple" as you think. :!:

BTW-the readme mentions buying the license if you like the trial version. Have we downloaded and activated a trial or the fully licensed version?

Nice little game. I've not played maze games before so had to get the first few solutions-that Minotaur moves fast! (didn't do tutorial). Burned it to cd, uninstalled from my computer and tried playing it directly from the cd and it played just as well as when it was installed. It even remembered the levels I had already completed. I like that I don't have to leave it installed (taking up hardrive space that is now limited due to my game addiction!) to be able to play it.

Thanks for a challenging game.

It's not" a copy of the old game Mummy Maze" but the reverse. MM, which came out in 2001, is a copy of this, which first came out in 1989, the original dos version. MM is much better I think, but of course you have to pay for it.

#6 I have the same problem - mine says file is corrupt. When I click the link it doesn't even send me to Wikisend like usual - It just goes into a 3 sec straight download that ends in error message. I wonder how everyone else is getting a copy yet we can't?

Whoops. Would someone else paste that link in the forum thread that Creamy Pretzel is so good about maintaining?

This post will also go in the forums for free games, btw.

Great insight into a game developer's mind, free games, history, etc...

Thank you for two great games this weekend ggaotd!!

#16 this game will take 10Mb of your disk

Great game! Very addictive. simple graphics, but sufficient.

This seems like a great game for people who like to be stuck in a maze all day. Myself, I would rather go to disney and stand in line for five hours, but disney takes $$$ and this is free. Besides, like I said if you like maze games you are sure to like this one. Have fun, Two thumbs up!

I loved the game yesterday once I got Ozzy going in the right direction and stopped banging his head on everything lol...
I am going to certainly give this one a try. Im pretty new to PC games but am loving the experience...eek getting later to bed..how addictive are they... Right now to the download, Sunday dinner hubby says...beans on toast me replies, think he might confiscate my laptop... many thanks for a great site...keep up the good work...

Thanks for another good game. I have another reason to look foreward to the weekends. Add me to the "thumbs up" list.

#10 i wrote that and your right i just called mom in fla and even she said game sucks dont waste your time then she bite me virtually and hung up

re
mom always said if u have nothing nice to say then shut up well her goes........







thanks i hope someone likes it


cause i dont waited all week for 2 crappy games in a row i need a life lol

Reminded me of Mummy Maze too, good for those that like this type of game, a little violent yes, nice graphic, overall a thumbs up.

The Theseus and the Minotaur Levels Editor:


I tried the levels editor and was rather confused at first because I couldn’t see any pieces to use for the maze. There also didn’t appear to be any way to load any levels to edit them. However on right clicking the mouse button a maze piece appeared. Repeatedly clicking the right mouse button brings up several different tiles, including vertical and horizontal maze walls, a barrier, the escape hatch, Theseus, the minotaur and a rubber. To fix a piece on the playing board you left click the mouse. Tiles can be removed using the rubber if you decide it’s in the wrong position. Once you’ve completed your maze you can then save your progress and play it via the custom button found in the level selection screen. The editor is really easy to use. You can use the full 9 x 14 board or make smaller mazes by using the two maze walls to create whatever shape you wish your maze to be within the bounds of the 9 x 14 grid. Pity you can’t create larger grids which would have enables much more complex shaped mazes, but the grid we have will allow for some different shapes. Just use your imagination. :lol:

15: Thanks for letting us know that it is like Mummy Maze...I loved that game too. I am getting more selective on what games I download due to running out of hard drive space, and probably wouldn't have downloaded this game based on the pictures.

Because of what you wrote I downloaded it and have been enjoying it this morning. Thanks again!

Absolutely love it. It reminds me of the old Pop Cap game called Mummy Maze...Sighs The time I've wasted playing that game.

Thank You for bringing us these wonderful games and for giving an old man a chance to relive his past.

#10................

BITE ME!..... I says whatever I feel like saying.

Don't like it..........Then BITE ME!

Love all the games I have downloaded MUST STOP TO SLEEP every now and again adore Rise of Atlantis, my daughter wants it but missed the download day way back. Glen

This is not a bad game. It is also a challenging game. I think its a bit difficult for smaller kids but it is fun for adults that like maze games. There are better ones out there but I still give it a thumbs up.

Great!
It must be a long time but it's worth the long pause! Thank you.

mom always said if u have nothing nice to say then shut up well her goes........







thanks i hope someone likes it

I agree with WhiteRabbits review, the history behind the game couldnt be more accurate then that.The game is also a bit slow and boring and does not contain much of a challenge at all. It looks like the devs focuse more on graphics then challenge.

This game is a version of the old, fun game "Mummy Maze". However, in this game the graphics are simpler & the killing feels more violent. I played to level 11, found it very simple & not sure I'll play more.

No bad, good change from the perpetual match 3.
In the 80' I wrote a Basic program for "L'ordinateur Individuel" magazine with a minotaur trying to find you based on the supposed noise you was making...

This download will not work for me.

Keeps giving me error messages when downloading.

:(

decent little game for a guy like me who isn't so quick on the trigger anymore and likes to sit back and analyze the situation.

Thanks.

Installs very easy.
Simple gameplay.
Very enjoyable for puzzle-fans.
Not my cup of tea >> I'd lie to rate it LUKEWARM
