Description

Mouse in the Maze is played with the light pen. The player can create a maze by removing line segments on a 8x8 grid and place pieces of cheese on the tiles. When ready a virtual mouse will be set free and will scurry around the maze in search of the cheese. The mouse would run out of energy when searching for the cheese but remember the paths it had taken for future attempts and become more proficient. A later update changed the cheese to Martini glasses and made the mouse swagger the more it drank.
