I love Abandonia for putting up any game, no matter the quality-there may always be someone who played a game as a kid, and would appreciate a site that leaves out none..so they may just find what their looking for.It's also interesting to see games I never knew of. I say Amazing Maze is well-made, simple gamepkay, but no doubt complex programming Abandonia...ooooohhm

Thank you for the new version mr. Foster. Finally I've been able to play the game at the speed it was intended to be played at (with emulation one can never tell). I'm also glad to see that you didn't take some coments made here as a personal insoult and at the same time I'd like to answer all the people who were asking why put something which was marked with such a low mark on the site. Even though the game is not apealing to me personally (speaking as a reviewer, how gave the low mark), it is still a part of computer history and did contirbute in the development of games people enjoyed later on. After all there are basic control functions (navigating the screen, avoiding various locations on it), which can be seen as the basics of platform games (where you again need to navigate an object around the screen withouth hitting certain places). So in order to understand what we have now, it is importaint to know, where it came from. Unfortuantely I still have to say Amazing Maze did not convince me. Sorry, it's neither amazing, nor a real maze, so my initial mark (1) stays, but I'm glad to see some other people tend to like it (the public mark is about as high as with some of the most famous adventure games). |

Dear Mr Foster Abandonia is always interested in acquiring a more up-to-date version, if one such exists. Please contact Reup, one of our administrators, for login details to the upload FTP. Welcome to the forum. We're glad to see authors still taking an active interest in their old creations. |

This is Donovan W. Foster It was interesting reading all your responses on experiencing my game. I am not rolling over in my grave just yet. or waking up with cold sweats. I take no offense to the repsonses. The game was written probably before any of you were born with technology we had back then. It made it around the world on BBSs back then in the freeware market and I made more than a few bucks. I was then approached by a software marketer in Canada saying they would very much like to market my game for me if I would make it better, like make it run on any computer fast or slow, make it with various levels of play and speed and keep high scores. I had to dig out my old code and I had better technology from the original I copyrighted in 1983. I upgraded it and did all they asked and copyrighted it in 1990(which is still probably before most of you were born) It was still the same game with more speeds and it plays on any computer and with high scores. They also wanted a new name so we came up with Labyrinth, it is also version 2 of the original Amaizing Maze. With that said I can upload the newer version for Abandonia to post if there is some (albiet slight) interest. Donovan W. Foster |

 And as Kosta explain in an interview given to German newspaper Die Zeit Abandonia is also some kind of Archive-Museum! All of this is about gaming history k: |

Well, Abandonia is quality before quantity, but we make an occasional exception. You have to reach the bottom to appreciate the top, right

Wasn't Abandonia ment to be only for the godies? Why do we accidentally put up some awful games? Or this one has some hidden qualities? |
