You have just been thrown into a dark, stinking pit...

You are isolated and alone in the maze at Knossos, Crete. Somewhere, a minotaur is tracking your scent. Can you find the only door without becoming a minotaur's meal?

Knossos is a 3-D graphic simulation. Mazes are represented by a perspective view, as though you are actually there. These graphics are not the simple, square graphics you have seen before. An entirely new representation has been implemented
giving a true cave-like quality. And like all Med Systems 3-D graphics, lightening fast screen generation is standard.

Other features include chalk with which to mark the floor for reference points, randomly generated mazes, distance counters for exit, and monster graphics. A typical game might last 15-20 minutes. This is the first truly 3-D arcade game ever
offered.

In-Game Description

OBJECTIVE - Escape from the Minotaur's labyrinth beneath the city of Knossos.

DESCRIPTION - The player is placed at a random point in a 20X20 maze and must find the one wall with a cross on it. Walking into this wall enables the player to leave the labyrinth and escape the minotaur. The only object the player carries is a stub of chalk which may be used to mark the ground.

Knossos contains a random maze generator as well as a fixed maze. The fixed maze is recommended for beginners.
