Maze Master

A new random maze is filled with dots, and you, the ball, race the computer, the star, to eat them. The star keeps one hand on the right-hand wall, so a left turn or a dead end costs it a step, while you can go wherever the corridors allow. You both move one cell a step at the same pace, and if you both arrive at a dot together the star gets it. Whoever eats more than half of the dots wins, and the game ends as soon as one side's lead can no longer be caught. The winner is named and a press returns to the title, where a new maze waits. Choose SLOW, NORMAL or FAST on the title.

Controls: Joystick only. The stick moves the ball. On the title, push left and right to choose the speed and press a button to start.
