PLANO, Tx., January 1, 1996 - InfoMedia's WorldVillage today announced the launch of a new interactive online game, MANIC MAZE!, sponsored by Legend Entertainment Company. The game, freely played on the Internet's World Wide Web, is a unique walkthrough 3D maze. The URL for MANIC MAZE! is http://www.worldvillage.com/maze.htm
InfoMedia's President, Joel Comm said, "People are seeking new forms of interactivity on the web. MANIC MAZE! gives players the realistic feeling of having to find their way through an age-old game in a new medium. The 3-D rendered graphics and 'warp holes' present players with a serious challenge."
All visitors may register to win a game from Legend Entertainment, but dedicated Web Surfers who successfully complete this complex puzzle will be registered to have a chance at winning a software library valued at $250. A weekly winner will receive either Mission Critical or Shannara.
Upon entering the 3D maze, players are dropped into a realistically rendered "hedge-maze". By clicking the available direction arrows, players can move left, right, forward, or backward. Occasional landmarks help players get their bearings, but warp holes which displace the player's position make the maze even more challenging.
InfoMedia's WorldVillage is an award-winning World Wide Web site which has received accolades from Compuserve, MecklerMedia, Cybertown, Spider's Pick and more than ten other peer web-sites.
