Synopsis

Minotaur is a maze game played in the first person. It is based on the Greek myth where King Minos sent a group of young Athenians to be fed by the Minotaur in the labyrinth of Crete. The player's task is to enter the maze, save as many men as possible, then escape before getting killed. The player must reach the men before the minotaur, otherwise they will die. The maze is randomly generated at start-up and it is possible for the player to enter its size. While moving through the maze, the player will encounter various items that can be picked up. The most common are cans and bottles which are necessary to prevent thirst or starvation. There are also compasses and map pieces that make it easier to find a path through the maze. To be able to kill the minotaur, the player must first find a sword and will then automatically kill it on contact. If not in possession of a sword, the player can press the spacebar to quickly flee the minotaur. This will, however, cause all collected items to disappear.
