Description
Created by MIT students, this game calls for players to draw a maze with a light pen. A mouse goes through the maze, to find cheese.
"Mouse", AKA "Mouse in the Maze", by John E. Ward, 1959, for the TX-0 (MIT). A simulator-simulator, simulating Claude Shannon’s relay-based maze solving simulator "Theseus" (1950).
(Note: Despite the caption of the video below, I wouldn’t regard "Mouse" as an actual video game as it still lacks the realtime interaction part. Interactions are restricted to the setup of the maze and starting the simulation.)
