Dedale
(1986 Softstar)


The word for labyrinthe in French is dédale, and so it came that 
a programmer once wrote the little game "Dedale". The quest is 
simple. Find your way through the labyrinthes and find your 
way out to a new highscore.

For each labyrinthe you have a specific amount of time (score). Can 
you make it through the labyrinthe in this time?  If you do so you 
proceed to the next - more complex - labyrinthe and finally, after 
all nine labyrinthes, you get your overall score.  When you run 
against a wall you loose five seconds, so be careful with your fast 
cursor-key movements.

The game can be finished in a minute or two, so was probably designed 
either for kids, or as a coffee break game.  The replay level is high 
though, as levels are randomly generated.  The graphics are CGA, moves 
use the keyboard, and the sounds are beeps from the PC speaker.
