UUuuuuuuggghhh!!!!

Whenever I think of that evil game the only thing I can think of is MAZE!!

Allegedly, according to the Giant Book of Adventure Games (an early eighties
walkthrough book for many a game), you are supposed to emerge from this
completely random maze --that is one room away from the endgame --
somewhere after the seventy-fifth move.  I have literally roamed this maze
for
over two hours and have never left.

My Apple II is now gathering dust and the game has (if there is any justice
in this
world) been banished to some far corner of Hell.  Curse your eyes for
bringing
back the pain and the torment to me!!!! :)
