3D-Maze

Ah, 3D-Maze. If you used Windows 3.x, you probably saw this lurking in the corner of your screen savers like a digital minotaur. Released in 1991, it’s not quite a game, but everyone played it anyway. You walk endlessly through a tiled labyrinth while a floating smiley face pops up to say hello or possibly curse your ancestors. There’s no real goal, no ending, just you, the maze, and a growing sense of confusion. It’s the Windows version of existential dread, but in VGA. Also a great way to procrastinate when you should be doing literally anything else.
