Midi Maze
Publisher: Hybrid Arts · Developer: Xanth Software
Midi-Maze, played on Atari STs linked up via MIDI cables, is probably the first multiplayer first-person shooter for home micros, and a descendent of the original Maze War from the 70s. Naturally, this game is quite dissimilar to the FPS games of today. The game is set in a typical maze with only 90° corners instead of the multi-level free layouts of a modern FPS, and all graphics are drawn with filled polygons only. Weapon systems are limited to a plain gun with a small reloading interval. And all the participants are big, floating smiling faces. Up to 16 players may compete simultaneously, but those who wish to train before a match can do it alone against drones. It is possible both to play one against all or to team up.
