Maze Craze: A Game of Cops and Robbers is a 4K cartridge for the Atari Video Computer System (later renamed the Atari 2600) developed by Rick Maurer and published by Atari, Inc. in 1980.[1] In Maze Craze, two players compete to be the first to escape a randomly generated, top-down maze. A range of game variations make play more interesting. Though primarily a two player game, any of the variations that don't involve interaction with the second player can be played solo.[2] Sears re-titled Maze Craze as Maze Mania for its Tele-Games system.[3]

Development

Maurer had been working on a clone of Space Invaders for the VCS, but because no one at Atari seemed interested in it, he looked for a new project. He took inspiration from the Fairchild Channel F Maze cartridge by Mike Glass, resulting in Maze Craze.[4] He later completed his version of Space Invaders,[1] which was officially licensed from Taito and became the killer app for the console.[5]
