New in version 1.5.2:
- A couple of minor corrections to the music.
- The music thread now will not use any CPU time when the
music is turned off.
- Other little improvements to the music code.
Labyrinth is a port of a Commodore 64 game published by Com-
modore in 1983 (not to be confused with the 1986 film adap-
tation from LucasFilm), which was itself a souped-up version
of an earlier public domain game originally written in BASIC
for the Commodore PET.
In this game you must find your way through a randomly gen-
erated maze of your chosen size, playing from a first person
view. Can you do it without peeking at the plan?
- Runs on all classic Amiga models.
- Adapts to PAL/NTSC and overscan.
- 100% OS- and multitasking-friendly. Can even share sound
channels with other programs running at the same time, if
those programs support it (which is usually not the case,
unfortunately).
- Faithful rendition of the original game's arrangement of
Greensleeves, using real time volume envelope generators
and the highest quality waveforms possible at all octaves.
- Uses menus, gadgets and requesters to provide a proper
Amiga interface, yet retains the feel of the original
game.
For a bit of fun, try starting up multiple instances of the
game and enjoy the ensuing chaos of all of them playing mu-
sic at the same time. Yes, the Amiga was always capable of
doing this!
Labyrinth will try to use the Proptopaz font. If that font
is not available, it will try to use Newtopaz instead. If
that is not available either, it will just use Topaz (the
font built into Amiga systems).
Proptopaz is included in this distribution. It is a propor-
tional version of the original Topaz font. It should be
copied to the FONTS: directory for Labyrinth to be able to
find it.
