I'm sure we all fondly remember our favorite "eat everything in sight" maze games, no matter what form they took. This screensaver is my tribute to those great games, showing a virtual game being played by the computer. Currently featuring Pac Man, Lock N Chase (Intelevision version) and KC Muchkin, these critters dart around randomly created mazes of different sizes, avoiding enemies and trying to clear just one more board.

If this doesn't bring a smile to your face, well, that darn joystick must have been busted.

Yeah, that's it! It wasn't you, not at all!

What's New:
Universal Binary
bug fix relating to the apparent ability of Mac OS X to do more then one thing at once! You know, back in my day, we didn't have this fancy smancy "multitasking". We ran one program at a time! In 128k of RAM! And we liked it! Anyway, I could try and teleport while still trying to animate, leaving our hapless hero in a limbo state where he doesn't quite know where the maze is anymore until the next time he gets zapped. I still see it happen, unfortunately, but much less often.
Fixed the ability of characters to skirt the maze on the right side and then re-enter from the right, without having gone to the left as they should.
Thanks to Tommaso Pecorella of Italy for code suggestions and fixes!
