Ah, more luck with this one.
 
I was thinking of doing a Maze II game. The maze game on the arcade was OK,
but pretty easy.
 
This was a starting attempt at doing a 3D maze game. Sort of like those
plastic cubes that you have to work a marble through.
 
The idea is that there are places on each level you can go up, or down. And
you have work your way through not just X and Y, but Z as well.
 
I was thinking of doing between 8 - 12 Z levels. But like with lots of my
ideas, it turned out to be more idea, and less time.
 
The point was that doing a maze game is easy on the Bally, and creating a 3D
maze would be easy. But... as I was starting to draw it out, I realized that
creating a 3D maze 'randomly' would be much, much trickier. So, I could
create a fixed 3D maze that folks could play a few times (like the 3D
plastic cube), but creating a cartridge that would create random mazes would
be a bit harder.
 
But again, too many ideas, too little time...
