The Amazing Maze Game is an arcade video game^[1] developed by Midway and released in 1976. Consisting of a black and white CRT screen running on an Intel 8080 CPU, It is considered one of the earliest maze games produced,^[1] and also displays an early example of the phrase "game over."^[2]

The game is centered around a top-down maze, randomly generated each time the game is played. In the maze there are openings on both the left and righthand sides, where the second and first player will start from respectively. The goal of the game is for each player to find their way through the maze to reach the other player's starting position, before the other player makes it to theirs. The game can be played by two players,^[3] or can be played solo against a computer, where the player will always start on the righthand side.

Upon starting the game, a random maze is generated using Prim's Algorithm,^[2] and each player (or only player when against the computer) is given 5 seconds of time to look over the maze to find the fastest path through. After this delay, the players are allowed to move their respective players using the two joysticks on the arcade cabinet. Once a player has reached their goal position, the game will then display the fastest possible route from one side to the other, which is also the exact route that the computer would take when playing solo.^[4] A point is then added to the winning player's score.

• Maze Craze

• The game has some inconsistency in its name, since the screen names it as "The Amazing Maze Game," while the bezel names it as "Amazing Maze," while the rest of the cabinet just says "Maze."^[2]
