Front Cover of Manual

A challenging combination of maze games to test your strategy skills. Race against time through increasingly difficult mazes filled with tempting cheese, towering obstacles, and devious cats!

Back Cover of Manual

A maze of corridors looms before you. You play a mouse who must escape the maze before the dangerous cats pounce on you! But the maze is filled with delicious cheese to tempt you and obstacles to hinder you. Your sage passage through the maze depends upon your ability to develop your skills and strategy.

Fun Fact

Originally, A-MAZE-ING was going to be bundled with [Hunt the Wumpus] and [Blasto] as a single Solid State Software Command ModuleTM cartridge. However, Kevin Kenney chose to add additional content and feature to each of the titles, making it possible to distribute each as a single product. This turned out to be advantageous for TI, since all three of these games ended up being top sellers, and brought TI more revenue than would have come in if all three would have been combined into one product.
