    Hi Codex, I've got a question:

    Does anyone here know of a videogame with a bunch randomized mazes that could be completed within an hour or so? Sort of like a casual first person roguelike without any monsters or loot?

    Well, I don't, and since being exposed to Daggerfall I've been itching to find some sort of game dedicated simply to completing mazes. Beating one of DF's labyrinths gave me this strange sort of thrill that I haven't gotten from other puzzle games, and I'm wondering if I could maybe get that experience in a somewhat purer form (without any stats, story, or adventure game like puzzles)

    I doubt anything like what I'm thinking of has actually been made, at least not any time recently, but I don't suppose there's any harm in asking.

    Well... there's 3-Demon, a FPS take on Pac-Man, complete with the ghosts and pellets and all, but you're looking at "state of the art" programming from 30 years ago.

    A little later (198x) there was another 3D-maze game more like what you had in mind, but I can't remember it's name.

    There was an FPS a bit like this that I think was well-received around here... Nosferatu or something?

    Feign. A single, non-randomized maze, but still worth a look.

    Portal? Short and fps but not random. Still 2 out of 3.

    Not random and not completable in less than an hour, but you could try Labyrinth of Time, and old EA "adventure" game. It's basically a series of mazes (with at the time very pretty graphics) and not much more. No combat.
