Maze

Maze is a pioneering first-person shooter from the early 1970s where players move through a grid‑based labyrinth, turning in 90‑degree increments and peeking through doorways. The simple tile‑based movement and eye‑shaped opponents create a unique, minimalist combat experience that laid groundwork for later FPS titles. Some versions, like the X11 port, include a cheat mode that reveals all player positions on a map, and occasional quirky elements such as a wandering duck add unexpected charm to the gameplay.
