| | MIDI Maze is a ground-breaking game on a number of counts. | | | First, it allows multiple players (each with his or her own perspective), and second, it's the first computer game ever that you can play through MIDI cables. | | | Over a dozen STs were hooked together at the Atari display, and a floating MIDI Maze game ran continously throughout the days of the show. |

| | MIDI Maze - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The game was started by one designated master machine which set rules, divided players into teams and selected a maze. | | | A number of mazes were supplied with the game and additional mazes could be constructed using one of various 3rd party tools. | | | This game was released as shareware and contained gameplay improvements over the original. |

| | Midi Maze allows players to chose from a surprisingly large number of gameplay options: Reload Time, Regen Time, Number of Lives, Bullet Speed, Turn Rate, Single or Team Play, and the Number of Drones and their intelligence (from Very Dumb to Nasty). | | | Midi Maze is an absolutely amazing game, and it pushes the XE hardware to its limits. | | | Midi Maze holds a special place in gaming history as being one of the earliest (if not the first) first person shooters. |

| | MIDI Maze is a first-person perspective game, in which you zip down corridors and try to shoot every enemy Happy Face you encounter. | | | Up to 16 STs can be connected together through their MIDI ports to play the game, so your enemies can be either computer opponents or other players. | | | Each player has a different perspective, and you can play every-man-for-himself or in teams. |

| | This was the first multi player game I am aware of that allowed up to 16 people to play. | | | Game play was simple in the extreme - each player is a Pac-man like figure, that shoots forwards, and moves around a simple maze. | | | The 'midi' in the name refers to the music instrument connections that were used to link the machines together, that came as standard on the Atari ST. |
