Shamus is a maze action game developed by William Mataga and published by Synapse Software in 1982. The game became popular on various home computer platforms of the early 1980s. In Shamus, players control a detective navigating through a labyrinth filled with enemies and traps, aiming to defeat the villain, The Shadow. The gameplay involves exploring interconnected rooms, each with its own set of obstacles and adversaries. Players must collect keys to unlock new areas and find power-ups to enhance their abilities or restore health.
Electronic Fun And Computer Games (1983): "The game's graphics are superb and there are so many variations and twists and turns in the plot and storyline, that it doesn't look as if it could ever get boring. But, don't expect to master it the first time you load it into your machine. Practice is the catchword. Lots of practice."
