I used a hex editor to look for credits in these games. When looking at the .exe file for the 3D mazes I found all these credits for Quake II expansions. Does this qualify the game for one of the Quake engine game groups and if so can anyone tell me which one please?

That's crazy, I can't imagine any direct connection between this and Quake... but yet, what is all that data doing in there?

It's a 3D maze game so I guess they used that software to construct the maze, it is designed for that sort of thing.
It's possible that the maze may even be a modified level with the nasty shooty stuff removed.

Q2's engine's source code was released the previous year, so it's not impossible I suppose...

I guess all I can say is that there is a connection as a Quake engine does seem to have been used but as I'm unable to say which one I cannot attach the game to it's correct game group so I'll leave this as undecided.
For anyone else who may pick up this thread after the screenshot has been erased, this is a section of the text from the .exe file that prompted this thread

Out of curiosity, how did you come to be poring over the executables with a text editor? Is this a level of scrutiny you apply to every game you document here? 8)
